Ingredients
Filling:
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 1/2 cup smoked ham, diced
- 1/4 cup frozen sweet peas, thawed
- 1/2 cup shredded Gruyere
Dough:
- 2 cups bread flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 gallon salted water
- 1 small onion, sliced
- 1/2 stick butter
- 2 scallions, sliced
- Sour cream, to garnish
Directions
In a medium bowl, add filling ingredients and combine well. Set aside.
In a large bowl add both flours, baking powder and salt and mix well. In a separate bowl add the remaining dough ingredients and whisk until combined. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredient using a wooden spoon to form a ball. Cut in half. (You can freeze dough for another time, if desired.)
Flour a work surface and roll dough about 1/8-inch thick. Use a 3-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 12 rounds from the dough.
Place a dollop of filling in the center of each dough round. Fold dough over filling to form a half moon. Press edges together with your thumb. Seal the edges using the flat tines of a fork.
Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a simmer. Add perogies and cook for about 2 minutes. Drain perogies.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over high heat, melt half of the butter and add the onion.
Cook onions for 5 to 6 minutes until slightly caramelized. Add perogies and the remaining butter. Allow to saute for a few minutes, then add the scallions.
Remove to a platter and serve with sour cream.

This dough was absolutely perfect. Ah-maze-ing. I have to admit that I am not rating this recipie in completeness, I just made plain old perogies with carmelized onions - so I didnt add the ham, peas, and cheese. But the dough was fantastic, it was so good and very easy too! Its a perfect use for leftover mashed potatoes.
Portuguese Island girl - you may have added a little bit too much flour to the dough. Mine was super easy to roll out and was not too dry or too sticky. Did you use the bread flour? Also, you should measure flour by losely filling it in the measuring cup and leveling off with a knife. If you pack it too hard into the cup, you actually get a lot more flour - a few tablespoons extra.

I found the dough tasty but dry and very difficult to roll out thinly. What did I do wrong?

I was a little intimidated with the making of the dough. But was fairly easy. This takes time though. Especially if your cooking for many. DELICIOUS! Will make over and over again but for a smaller crowd. Phew! Thanks Aaron.
