  • First, make the filling for the pies: 1. Wash, peel, and boil the potatoes in salted water. Drain, then mash them. 2. While the potatoes cook, peel and finely chop the onion. 3. Heat a skillet, melt the butter, add the onion, and fry until golden. 4. Add the onion along with the leftover butter to the mashed potatoes and mix well. The filling is ready. Now for the pies themselves: 1. Pour the buttermilk into a fairly large bowl. 2. Crack in the egg and add the vegetable oil and salt. 3. Slake the baking soda with the vinegar and pour it into the bowl. Whisk everything together well. 4. Sift the flour and work it in a little at a time, kneading into a dough. 5. Add the vodka and mix again. 6. Dust the counter with flour, turn out the dough, and knead it well. 7. Divide the dough into pieces — this amount makes 12–14 medium pies. Roll each piece into a ball. 8. Roll the balls out into thin rounds and place filling in the center of each (dividing it evenly among all the pies). 9. Heat a skillet well with vegetable oil, add a few pies, and cover with a lid (this helps them puff up). 10. Fry the pies until crisp and golden on both sides. Repeat with the rest. These pies are especially good hot, so serve them straight from the pan. Enjoy!
