The kids love helping out in the kitchen. I love when they want to learn new skills. Our filling ingredients: 5CUPS mashed potatoes 3CUPS cheddar 2CUPS finely chopped ham (can use bacon) Salt, pepper 1/2CUP dehydrated minced onions All mixed together very well in a big bowl. Love this perogie maker we purchased it brand new at value village for 2.99$.
I divide the dough into four pieces. Roll out each piece 1/8inch thickness. I use a perogie maker but you can just cut out circles with a cookie cutter or glass. Put about 1 good TBSP filling in each perogie. Use the perogie maker to roll another layer of dough over top. This maker works pretty awesome. If your just using cookie cutter flip over top and pinch all around to close up.
Place in boiling water for just a couple minutes. When they float to the top they are done. You can eat them just like this, or go the next level and fry them up like we do. You can fry them with butter, or oil or non stick spray whatever you prefer. When we make these we freeze lots. I lay out a single layer on a silicone sheet on a cookie pan and place in freezer. Takes about 30 minutes or so. Then I throw them in a freezer bag. They do not stick to each other this way. I do not precook the ones I freeze.
The Finished Perogies After Being Fried
We like sour cream and some green onions with ours. Everyone is different, the toppings are endless what you can have. What do you like on your perogies?
