How to Make Perogies

This is a very special recipe from a very special babka. Grandma B :), Natalia Baschak, my mother's mother and my grandma. Growing up, we ate this on every special occasion because someone would always request it. It is a superb meal to feed a lot of people, since potatoes are cheap and dough is cheap. I have yet to meet someone who has not fallen in love with it, once tried the homemade way. Store-bought does not even compare.

Babka Tips:

* Enlist a large crew. It is a simple recipe, but stuffing the filling can take a long time on your own.
* Eat with special toppings like sour cream, jam, fried onions, bacon or even hot sauce.
* While eating, add a green salad, forget about the calories, and enjoy to the fullest.

Dough recipe
(makes about 30 perogies):

2 cup all purpose flour
2 large beaten eggs
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 potato water (water from boiling your potatoes in)..makes it taste better than straight up water

Filling options:

# 1. Sauerkraut

1 can of sauerkraut (rinsed well)
Fried onions mixed in

# 2. Potatoes and cheddar cheese

Boil your potatoes (any kind).
Mash them up with cheddar cheese, salt and pepper.

# 3. Sweet Potato

Bake (or boil) and then mash

# 4. Cottage cheese

1 tub dry cottage cheese
herbs
1-2 eggs beaten in

yes...it is far too small indeed....the camera we had that day was in a very low resolution...(also was edited in a different program etc etc)...so therefore is a small video: ( one day a re-make may be done.

Why is the video so small? I had to move on and watch some else's. You should re-upload and fix whatever the problem is.
