1. 1.In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and water. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
2. 2.Roll the dough out on a floured surface and use a biscuit cutter or glass to cut out circles. Spoon a small amount of the mashed potato filling onto each circle and fold in half, pressing the edges together to seal.
3. 3.Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pierogi. Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the top. Drain and set aside.
4. 4.In a skillet, melt the butter and sauté the diced onion until soft and caramelized. Add the cooked pierogi to the skillet and toss to coat in the butter and onions.
5. 5.Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped chives.
