How to prepare

Prepare 2-1/2 cups mashed potatoes. To make the dough, beat together one cup of the the mashed potatoes, the one tablespoon oil and the salt. Add the flours, baking powder and mix well. Mix in the water and knead into a smooth dough. Let rest on a board, covered with a cloth, for 1/2 hour. To make the filling, saute the onions in the two tablespoons oil until transparent. Mix together with the rest of the filling ingredients. Cut the dough into four sections, then roll each section as thin as possible (about 1/16  inch thick). Cut into 5 × 6-inch rectangles. Place two or three tablespoons of filling in the middle of each rectangle. Fold the sides in first, then the ends. Place folded side down on an oiled cookie sheet. Bake 350°F for twenty-five minutes or until golden. Serve with horseradish or mustard.
