POTATO AND CHEESE PIEROGI

Steps:

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

POTATO AND CHEESE PIEROGIES

Steps:

• For the dough: Work the egg, sour cream, butter and salt in a small bowl with a whisk or fork to form a batter. Pour the flour onto a work surface and make a well in the center. Add the sour cream mixture and mix thoroughly with your hands until a dough forms. (The dough is ready to use right away but if you are not forming the pierogies immediately, wrap in plastic and refrigerate the dough for at least 2 hours or up to 2 days.)
• For the filling: Stir together the mashed potatoes, cheese and chives in a medium bowl until well combined. Chill the filling so it is easier to work with.
• To form the pierogies: Roll the dough mass out to 1/8-inch thickness and cut 3-inch rounds. Place 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling in each round, and then fold over into half-moons, being careful not to push filling into the seam. Press closed and crimp with a fork if scalloped edges are preferred.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the pierogies and wait until they float, 3 to 4 minutes. Drain well.
• Serve with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with chives and a crack of black pepper.

POTATO AND CHEESE MINA (PASSOVER MATZO PIE)

Steps:

• Peel and dice potato. Place in a medium pot with enough cold water to cover. Bring to boil and cook until soft. Strain and pass potato through a food mill. Set aside to cool.
• In a large bowl mix mashed potato with 6 eggs, seasonings, and 4 ounces cheese.
• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat two eggs in a large bowl with milk and 1 Tablespoon olive oil. Place warm salted water in a hotel pan or other container large enough to fit whole matzo board. Briefly soak each matzo in water. Dry each matzo and then dip into egg mixture. Heat a large sauté pan with olive oil. Sauté both sides of one matzo until golden brown. Repeat with remaining matzo. Leaving one piece of sautéed matzo in hot pan, place half of potato and cheese mixture on top, then place second piece of matzo over filling. Cover with remaining half of mixture. Place last matzo on top and sprinkle with 2 ounces of cheese. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or just until set. Remove from pan and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm.
