Dough Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg, sugar, and salt. Gently warm the milk and add it along with the vegetable oil. Gradually stir in flour and yeast until a wet dough forms. Knead for about 8-10 minutes.
- Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm area for 60-90 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- While the dough rises, boil salted water, add whole potatoes, and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain and mash with butter, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- In a skillet, melt remaining butter and sauté chopped onion for 4-5 minutes. Add ground meat and season. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool.
- Mix mashed potatoes with the meat mixture and adjust seasoning with dill, salt, and pepper.
Assembling and Frying
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 12 pieces. Shape into ovals, fill with mixture and seal edges. Flatten slightly.
- Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F - 375°F. Fry piroshki in batches for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
