Step 1

PREPARING MEAT FILLING Mix ground meat, onion, salt, pepper and egg in a large bowl.

Step 2

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate till ready to use.

Step 3

PREPARING POTATO DOUGH Place potato dough in a fine-mesh cheesecloth (you can buy it also at some pharmacy, well at least in Lithuania you can) and get rid of the excess water. Do not throw that water away! Keep it in another bowl and after a while you will see the potato starch at the bottom of the bowl.

Step 4

Put that potato starch back into the potato dough and mix it with boiled and riced potatoes, grated onion, teaspoon salt.

Step 5

FORMING CEPELINAI Take about a cup of potato dough and pat flat in your hand. Put 1/4 cup of meat filling in the center and fold the potato mixture around the meat.

Step 6

Carefully put dumplings into boiling water, add some salt and if needed cornstarch. Boil for at least 25 minutes.

Step 7

While cepelinai are boiling, make the sauce. You just need to fry the bacon and chopped onion until tender. You can add sour cream to the sauce or add after.

Step 8

If it will be too confusing for you to cook do not be sad.
