- To start the sponge, stir the yeast, sugar, and a little flour into the slightly warm kefir. Mix well and leave it somewhere warm and draft-free for 20 minutes. Peel the potatoes and boil them in salted water until tender. Mash them and season with a little pepper to taste. Sauté the onion and stir it into the potatoes. Once the sponge is bubbly and airy, add the beaten eggs and a little vegetable oil, then work in the sifted flour and salt. Mix well and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. After about 45–50 minutes, start shaping the pies: roll a small piece of dough out on a floured surface, spoon on the filling, and pinch the edges shut. Gently press the pie in your hands to shape it.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet. Fry the hand pies covered, until golden brown. Drain them on a paper towel before serving to blot off excess oil.
- Make it a rule of thumb: you can never pin down the exact amount of flour ahead of time when baking. Flour varies — in moisture, how finely it's milled, its gluten level, and more — and all of that affects how much liquid it will take up. Since you can't run a lab test on your flour at home, go by the "flour into liquid" approach: measure the liquid exactly as the recipe says, then add the flour a bit at a time until the dough reaches the right consistency (you may end up using a little more or a little less than called for). This keeps your proportions on track and protects the texture of the dough.
