Pierogies

Filling Ingredients

• 4 pounds mashed potatoes
• 1 pound shredded Cheddar cheese
• salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together mashed potatoes and shredded Cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

1/2 teaspoon salt

warm water

Dumpling Directions

1. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, carton sour cream, and salt. Stir in flour and warm water. Add water until dough feels like velvet. Turn out onto a lightly floured board, and knead until smooth. Roll out to a 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out 3 1/2 inch circles with either the top of a glass or a biscuit cutter. Cover with waxed paper to prevent drying out if not filling immediately.
2. Place 1 or 2 tablespoons filling on one side of a circle of dough. Fold over, and seal by pressing the edges with a fork. Repeat until ingredients are used.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Immerse pierogi. Cook until the dumplings float to the surface.
