Vareniki with potatoes and cottage cheese

My Lviv friend Miroslava made these dumplings and they were very tasty. If someone is frightened by the combination of potatoes and cottage cheese, I can reassure them - the cottage cheese is practically insignificant, but it makes the filling more tender and soft. Plus, the addition of green onions adds a fresh touch to the flavor.
