Fake Perogies

Every Christmas Eve we attend a celebration with our friends the Barabash's.  We love them and this is a tradition that was before me and has continued after me.  I am so excited to go there every year and enjoy the yummy Ukrainian food.  My favorite dish by far is the perogies.

The reason this is called the fake perogies is because I do not make them the right way.  Instead I make them with wonton wrappers.  This is a big no-no because it is not from the dough.  I have made these multiple times with wonton wrappers and it is just faster than having to make the dough, cut the dough out. 

As a full-time teacher, I tend to be more lazy and go with what is easy.

Fake Perogies

Ingredients:

Wonton wrappers (found in the tofu section)
Potatoes
Cheddar Cheese (shredded)-- 1 package
Onions
Butter
Sour Cream

Directions:
1. Cube potatoes and boil until they are fork tender.
2. Saute the onions (chopped) in butter and reserve for later.
3. Drain the potatoes and add the sauteed onions, and cheese.
4. Mix together with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Open the wonton wrappers and keep them under a wet towel to keep them moist.
6. Put about a tablespoon of the potato mixture in the wonton.  Wet the edges and seal.
7. Store on a tray until you are ready to boil them.
8. Boil them in water and then saute in butter and more onions. (I love mine crispy!)
9. Eat with sour cream and enjoy!


You can also freeze after you make them and flash freeze them individually and then put them in baggies for later use.

We actually used these from our freezer for dinner last night! Love them and it was so yummy.  I have been in a potato mood and these fit the bill!

Out of commission

Sorry friends who have been looking for recipes.  Brian and I have had a crazy past month working on other projects that haven't included cooking.  I am hoping to get a new recipe up here by the end of the long three day weekend and then hopefully get some more that are ready to be posted in the future.

School just started back for me which always makes things worse in the tired arena and less cooking due to summer and just life in general!

Here is to more cooking and loving life!
