Introduction
I had never heard of perogies before meeting my sister's Australian boyfriend, Brendan in Canada on a recent holiday. As there were loads of Australin emloyees/guests at the ski resort we were staying at, Perogies were really popular, and sold frozen in the supermarket. I wanted to try them back in England, so got a Canadian friend to email me her recipe. I made a few alterations, and this is what I came up with.
Ingredients

Dough

2 Cups all purpose (plain) flour

1/2 tsp salt

2 large egg yolks

2 tsp olive oil

1/2 to 3/4 cup warm water

Filling

2 medium potatoes cut into chunks

2 tsp milk

1 cup grated cheese

salt and pepper to taste

Directions
Step: 1

Dough

Add flour to a mixing bowl and make a well in centre. Add in egg yolks and oil. Stir in well. Add water slowly, kneading in with fingers.

Step: 2

Form into a ball, kneading for about 5 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate over night.

Step: 3

Filling

Boil and mash potatoes with the milk. Stir in the cheese. Season with salt and pepper.

Step: 4

Assembly

To fill Perogies, divide dough into 4 pieces and shape into a log approximately 1 inch in diameter. Slice in half. Dust with flour and shape each log into a circular disc and flatten like a pizza base, stretching as you go. When the dugh is thin, add a teaspoon of potato mixture to the centre and fold the dough over, making a half moon or "pasty" shape. Place in a pan of boiling water for 5 minutes and then drain. Fry in a hot skillett until crispy - approximately 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Paula, does the dough go in the refrigerator overnight?
