3. Add while potatoes are still hot 2 tbsp of dill.
4. Salt and Pepper to taste.

6. FOR DOUGH:

7. Dissolve 1 tsp sugar in 1/2 cup lukewarm water.
8. Add pkg of yeast and let stand for 10min.
9. In large bowl: Blend 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup margarine.
10. Add 1 tsp salt, then 3 cups water and 1 tbsp vinegar.
11. Add flour until you create a bun dough where it's no longer sticky.
12. Let Rise (2hrs) until double in bulk.
13. Punch Down.
14. Cut off a size you would use to make a small dinner bun (1x2-inch size).
15. Shape into a square.
16. Put about 1 tbsp of filling in middle.
17. Fold over.
18. Pinch and tuck edge under.
19. Place on greased baking sheet.
20. DO NOT LET RISE.
21. While baking one sheet, shape other perogies.
22. Bake at 375°F (or 190°C) for 20-25 minutes, until lightly browned.
23. YOU CAN FREEZE BAKED PEROGIES BEFORE ADDING SAUCE - They still taste delicious after freezing (let thaw and follow the "for sauce" directions the same way).
