Method (preview)

1. 1

   Combine water, egg, oil and blend well. Add flour and 1 tsp of the salt.

2. 2

   Knead until smooth and soft (8 minutes approx). Put dough into a lightly oiled bowl, cover and rest for 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Combine (slightly cooled) mashed potatoes and grated cheddar in a bowl.

4. 4

   Saute onions in butter and add to mashed potatoes.

5. 5

   Add in the remaining salt (1/2 tsp) and pepper to taste.

6. 6

   Fold the circle in half and seal edges by pinching them together.

7. 7

   This should leave you with a half moon shape.

8. 8

   When you have completed sealing the pyrohy, it should be laid between two clean towels (this prevents it from drying out).

9. 9

   Once you have made all of the pyrohy possible (when either your dough or potato runs out), set a pot of water to boil.

10. 10

    In batches of 6-8 (depending upon how much your pot can hold), cook the pyrohy until they are floating.

11. 11

    Remove from water, place in a casserole dish and melt some butter or margerine on the batch of pyrohy to keep them separated nicely.

12. 12

    Continue this until they are complete.
