Great Gram's Pierogies

3 cups flour
1 stick butter
¾ cups water
1 egg, beaten
8 potatoes
1 cup white cheddar cheese

Melt butter in water, then mix with flour and egg to make dough.

Clean and peel potatoes. Boil potatoes until done. Mash and mix with cheese. Salt and pepper potato mixture to taste.

Roll dough out and cut in 3 inch circles. Fill with 1 teaspoon potato mix. Pinch off. Preboil pierogie until it floats.

*My Notes:*
-You can eat it with butter and steamed onions or deep or pan fry
-I remember helping my great gram make this as a kid. Although it is time consuming, it will definitely be worth your time.
