Ingredients:
Dough:
350g flour (app. 2 glasses), 200ml water, 2 tbsp oil, 1 egg, salt.
Filling: 500g boiled potatoes, 150g white cheese, 2 onions, salt, pepper.

Preparation:
Filling:
Chop onions finely and fry in a pan. Carefully mash and mix boiled potatoes, cheese and fried onions. Add salt and pepper (for mild spiciness).
Dough: Mix an egg with flour, warm water, oil and a little salt. Make the dough (start with a knife and then with hands). After around 15 minutes, when the dough is smooth, roll it out so it is 2 mm thick. Cut circles out of the rolled dough and put some of the filling onto each one, then close them into half circles. Boil them in salted water with two tablespoons of oil. When they rise to the surface, remove with a slotted spoon. Serve with finely chopped and fried bacon and onions.
