1/2 cup warm water
3 tsp. oil
1/2 tsp. salt

Filling:
3 potatoes, peeled
1 large onion, chopped

1. Blend together all dough ingredients. Roll dough out thinly.
2. Using a cup, cut dough into circles which are 2-3 inches in diameter.
3. Boil and mash the potatoes. Sauté the onions in margarine. Add mashed potatoes to the onions in the frying pan, and season with salt and pepper. Blend well.
4. Place 1 Tbsp. of the mashed potatoes in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough circles closed and pinch the edges together.
