Dumplings with a surprise
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You can make surprise-filled vareniki with any favorite filling—I'm using mashed potatoes today. As surprises, you can use almost anything, but I recommend choosing universal or, if possible, edible items. There are many interpretations of fillings with predictions available online. The finished dish can now be served.

Step 9
Pinch the edges together using any convenient method, making sure the surprise is completely enclosed within the filling and won't be discovered prematurely. Prepare the remaining dumplings with the regular filling. The finished dumplings can be frozen or cooked immediately in boiling salted water.
