1.
FOR THE FILLING; boil potatoes in salted water until tender. About 15 - 20 minutes, then drain. Once potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and mash them until smooth.

2.
While the potatoes are cooking, place bacon, butter and onions in a pan and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add to potatoes with parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined. Set aside

3.
FOR THE DOUGH; Using a large bowl whisk together milk, sour cream, egg and salt. Add the flour half at a time and mix until well combined. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and lightly sprinkle with flour. Using your hands knead the dough until relatively smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes to rest

4.
ASSEMBLE; Roll the dough out on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thickness. Add flour as needed to prevent sticking. Cut out circles about 4 inches in diameter and roll out to an oval shape about 1/8-inch in thick

5.
Place a bowl of cold water next to your work area. Spoon the filling in the center of each piece Use just enough filling that you can barely close the perogy without stretching the dough. I used 1 tablespoon. Using your fingers or pastry brush wet the edges. Pinch the edges tightly together to seal the perogies.

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Place perogies in the water without crowding them. Cook in batches until they surface to the water about 4 - 5 minutes. Drain on a paper towels
