This recipe is an Ukrainian one of my Great-Grandmothers passed down from the years. They are great with melted butter and sauteed onions, or fry if desired. They can also be frozen between layers of plastic wrap.

Ingredients

  • 6 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • water as needed
  • 5 pounds potatoes , peeled
  • 1 pound processed cheese , cubed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • onion salt to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, about 15 minutes; drain.

  2. 2

    Combine flour, eggs and salt. Mix in a little water at a time until dough is somewhat stiff. Roll dough in small sections about 1/4 inch thick. Using a large biscuit cutter or drinking glass, make circle cuts.

  3. 3

    To make filling: Mix together potatoes, cheese, salt, pepper and onion salt. Fill each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture, fold over and seal edges. To cook, bring a large pot of water to boil, carefully dropping in one at a time; stir once. They are done when they float to the top.
