Makes 8 Servings

Ingredients

Dough

• 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 3/4 cup water

Filling

• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

For Serving

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• minced chives

Instructions

• In a large mixing bowl making the dough by combining flour, eggs, sour cream and water. Slowly beat in the eggs until the dough is well combined. Turn the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead 3 to 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and rest 30 minutes.
• In another large mixing bowl, stir together mashed potatoes, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and cheese.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, pinch of tablespoon-sized pieces of dough and roll into about three dozen balls. Roll each ball out on a lightly floured surface into a 3 1/2 to 5-inch circle. Cover with a damp towel or paper towel to prevent them from drying out.
• Place a heaping tablespoon of potato filling into the center of each circle. Fold in half, pinching the sides shut with your fingers, or gently with a fork to seal. Working in small batches, boil in salted water 2 to 3 minutes, until they float. Remove and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet and saute pierogi until lightly browned. Serve hot topped with sour cream and garnish with chives. OR with caramelized onions...
