Ingredients:
dough
• 2 cups all-purpose flour (500 ml)
• 1/2 tsp salt (2 ml)
• 2 large egg yolks
• 2 tsp vegetable oil (10 ml)
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup hot tap water (125 ml to 175 ml)
potato cheese filling
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled, cut in chunks
• 1t sour cream (15 ml)
• 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (250 ml)
• salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Dough
2. Place flour on counter or wooden board. Sprinkle salt on top of flour. Make a well in centre.
3. Place egg yolks and oil in well. Using the tips of your fingers, stir in circular motion, working from middle of flour mixture out and adding water with other hand, a little at a time, as you go. You have added enough water when dough begins to hold together and so just slightly sticky.
4. Form into ball, scraping up and adding any bits that stick to counter
5. Knead dough, adding a little more water if necessary, 20 to 25 times or until soft and elastic. Wrap in plastic wrap.
6. Chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
7. Potato Cheese Filling
8. Add potatoes to medium pot of boiling salted water. Cook until soft.
9. Add sour cream, yogurt or milk. Mash with potatoes masher or ricer.
10. Stir in cheese.
11. Season with salt and pepper.
