With my Canadian background and Kelly's Pennsylvanian background we often make perogies. I realize most of you probably are not familiar with this Western European food but it is really yummy.
First you cut potatoes and boil them to make mashed potatoes. 
The secret is to boil them with garlic, chicken bouillon, and black pepper.
Sometimes we mash by hand, other times we actually use a mixer.
Notice anything unusual? The mixer cord is plugged in above our heads. Sometimes the electrical sockets make no sense here. 
After mixing the potatoes you add cheese, onion powder, pepper, and garlic to taste.
Then you stuff the potatoes in dumpling wrappers and fold them up so they are ready to fry or boil. 
I like them fried!
They are really good with sour cream (which we have none of!) and cheese. You can also put Alfredo or marina sauce on them. Yum! The Asians here love them because they are familiar in appearance to their dumplings and they eat potatoes.
