Vareniki are a type of stuffed dumplings. They are, in fact, unleavened dough balls in the shape of squares or crescents, filled with mashed potatoes, sauerkraut, cheese, cabbage, meat, hard-boiled eggs, or a combination thereof. They can also be filled with fruit. Vareniki are very popular in Ukraine and Russia.
The dish is prepared by wrapping the filling with dough and cooking it for a few minutes, then pouring butter or oil over it. The name vareniki simply means "cooked thing" from the adjective varenyy.
