Instructions:

(Dough)
Combine salt with flour inside a mixing bowl; stir them well. Combine water, oil, and egg; beat thoroughly and add onto the mixture of flour.

Stir thoroughly till dough becomes firm. Turn it out onto slightly floured board and knead till smooth. Wrap with a plastic film an let it rest, at about 20 mins.

(Filling)
Heat the butter inside the skillet above moderate heat. Add onion and cook for 3-5 mins until tender then transfer onto clean bowl.

Mix with the salt, pepper, cheese, and potatoes; mix thoroughly.

Roll a portion from dough on slightly floured board into 1/6-inch thick. Cut to rounds, with a 3-inch pastry cutter. Place a teaspoon of filling onto each of round.

Slightly moisten water on the edges of half the dough; seal by pinching the edges then crimp.

Transfer them onto a clean cloth then cover them with a moist cloth; do the same to remaining wrapped dough.

(Cooking)
Cook the perogies, by batches, inside a pot with salted boiling water for 2 mins until floating on surface; stir gently so they won’t stick together.

Transfer on the colander; let them drain. Melt the butter on a skillet; cook the onion, about five mins until golden then add the perogies. Toss till coated well.

Serve together with (sour) cream.
