Ingredients

• 4 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 medium Potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 small Onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
• 2 tablespoons Chives or green onions, chopped (optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes into small chunks. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Step 2

Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and milk, then mash until smooth. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion is golden and caramelized. Remove from heat and mix into the mashed potatoes.

Step 4

Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread half of the mashed potato mixture evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on top, then cover with another tortilla. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make a second pierogidilla.

Step 5

Heat a clean skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter in the pan, then carefully place one pierogidilla in the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the tortilla is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Repeat with the remaining butter and pierogidilla.

Step 7

Slice each pierogidilla into quarters and serve warm. Garnish with sour cream and chopped chives or green onions, if desired.
