"Recipes from the Chef's Kitchen"

Dough......
Ingredients:
1) 10 lbs. All-purpose Flour
2)  1 dozen Whole Eggs
3)  2 pints Sour Cream
4)  3 tbs. Salt
5)  5-6 cups Water

Cooking Instructions:
1)  Mix all ingredients and knead on lightly floured surface
      until smooth. (Dough can be frozen at this point for
      later use. Knead in additional flour when thawed before
      using.)
2)  Roll out dough about 1/8" thick. Cut into 3" circles.
      (Plastic champagne glasses work as well as cutters.)
3)  Fill each circle of dough with a ball or heaping teaspoon
      of potato filling.
4)  Fold dough in half and pinch edges well to seal completely.
5)  Cook in boiling water just until piroghi rise to the surface.
6)  Drain piroghi and saute in melted butter and chopped
      onions until golden. Serve with sour cream.

(Piroghi can be frozen after boiling if desired. To keep
      piroghi from sticking together, remove them from boiling
      water and put them into an ice bath to cool completely.
      Drain the piroghi from the ice bath, and dip into vegetable
      oil and drain. Put the oiled piroghi into zip log bags for
      easy freezing. To cook, defrost and saute with butter and
      onions.)
