Equipment

• 1 stock pot
• 1 baking sheet
• parchment paper

Ingredients

Potato Filling

• 4 Russet potato
• 1/3 cup Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tsp Pink himalayan salt
• 1/2 tsp Onion powder
•  1/2 Extra sharp cheddar cheese

To Cook

• 2 tbsp Butter

Instructions

Filling

• Soak, scrub and peel the 4 Russet potato.
• Fill a pot with cold water and place the potatoes in the pot.  Place over the stove at medium heat and boil until the potatoes are cooked through.  Poke with a fork to check. Drain the water
• In a bowl add the potatoes (make sure they are hot), 2 tbsp Butter, 1/3 cup Sour cream, 1 tsp Pink himalayan salt, 1/2 tsp Onion powder and  1/2 Extra sharp cheddar cheese.
• Beat with a mixer until creamed together.

Putting Together

• Cut Won Ton Wrappers into 3" circles.  2" or 4" will work if that is all that you have, but I find 3" to be the best. Place a wonton wrapper on a floured surface.  With a small scoop put a dollop of the filling together.
• Fold in half and wet the edges, brush with water and press the edges together with a fork.  Flip and do the same thing on the other side.
• Continue until they are all filled.
• Flash freeze on a parchment lined baking sheet for 2 hours.  Transfer to a freezer safe storage container.  If you don't flash freeze, cut down on the boiling time by 2 minutes.

To Cook

• Bring  a large pan filled with water and lightly salted to a boil.
• Add in the pierogi's and let boil 8-10 minutes.
• Place a cast iron over medium heat.  2 tbsp Butter.  Once melted add in the pierogies and brown about 2 minutes each side.
• Serve on a plate with your favorite dipping sauce- we love sour cream.
