Yummy Russian Potato Pies!

I love Russian potato pies. I altered this recipe from one by Linda Johnson on her cooking show titled "From Russia with Love." Enjoy!

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Yields: 12 little pies

Ingredients

• Dough

• 1  cup warm water
• 1⁄4 cup margarine
• 1  teaspoon salt
• 1⁄4 cup powdered milk
• 1  tablespoon  yeast
• 2  cups white flour
• 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour

• Potato Filling

• 4  medium  hot cooked potatoes
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
• 1  teaspoon onion powder

• Topping

• 1  medium onion, chopped in big pieces
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons  oil
•  margarine, to brush over top
•  sour cream, to your liking

Directions

1. Mix together the warm water, margarine, salt and milk powder. Slowly stir the flour into the liquid ingredients until it makes a soft dough. Spray a medium-sized bowl with vegetable oil spray and place the dough in the bowl. Spray the top of the dough with vegetable oil spray. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size.
2. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Let the dough rest for 5 - 10 minutes. Prepare filling by mixing all ingredients and stirring well. Roll out each piece of dough and put a couple of spoonfuls of filling in the middle of the dough. Add a little sour cream and roll the dough up like little loaves of bread.
3. Let the loaves rise until double in size. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes. They should be golden brown. Place on a wire rack and brush a little margarine on top of each little loaf.
4. In a small skillet heat 1 1/2 Tbsp oil and saute onion a few minutes. Serve onion on top of the potato pies with a dollop of sour cream.
