Directions: |
Directions:Saute 1lb of bacon and one large onion (both cut into small pieces) in 1 c. of margarine until lightly browned.
FILLING:
5lb potatoes-peeled and cooked
1 pkg. grated cheddar cheese
As you mash the potatoes, add the cheese and continue mashing until cheese is melted and potatoes and cheese are well mixed. Add about 1 c. of the bacon and onion (without margarine). Leave in a bowl to cool.
DOUGH:
6c. flour and 1 tsp. salt
3 eggs-whipped and 1/3c. oil
1/2 c. dehydrated potatoes and 2 c. boiling water (you can use the water from boiling the potatoes). Let potatoes cool slightly.
Mix flour, eggs, potato water and enough warm water to make a soft dough. Knead well and place in a plastic bag to rest.
MAKING THE PEROGIES:
Take a small amount of dough. Roll out using flour so dough doesn't stick to the counter top. Using a glass, cut circles in the dough. Place on a towel so circles don't dry out. Keep dough you are not using in closed plastic bag.
Use 1 tsp filling for each circle. Place in center of dough. Fold over dough and pinch firmly around.
BOILING THE PEROGIES:
Boil using a large pot filled about 3/4 full with water. Bring to a rapid boil. Drop perogies into water (about 1 & a half dozen). Stir gently so they don't stick. Let water come to a boil again and perogies rise to the top. Turn heat down so perogies gently boil. Continue gently stirring and boil 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon. Put some bacon and onion mixture over and toss so that perogies are covered and don't stick together. |
