Ingredients:

 

16 oz pack of bacon, chopped

Bacon drippings

1 yellow onion, diced

5 potatoes, peeled and halved

- 2 tbsp. olive oil

- 2 tsp. Italian seasoning

16 oz. chicken, cut into small cubes

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 pinch cayenne pepper

1 large egg

1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese

1 large egg

1 tablespoon water

50 wonton wrappers, or as needed (recipe: http://youtu.be/vtd9QcVEb3k)

1/2 cup olive oil

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

 

Directions:

 

1. In a large skillet a little over medium heat, add chopped bacon and onions; cook and stir until the bacon is crisp and the onions are browned. Cover skillet to reduce cooking time and stir occasionally. Transfer bacon and onions to a small dish, reserving the bacon fat for frying the pierogi.

2. Place potatoes into a large pot with salted water; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. 

3. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and Italian seasoning. Cook chicken in heated oil until cooked all the way through. Set aside.

3. Drain and mash potatoes until smooth. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Mix in chicken, bacon & onion, and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in 1 egg and cheddar cheese. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.

4. Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water in a bowl for the egg wash.

5. Place 2 to 3 wonton wrappers at a time on a lightly floured work surface. Brush the edges lightly with the egg wash. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold each pierogi in half and lightly press the edges together to seal.

6. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pierogi in the boiling water (stirring very lightly occasionally to prevent them from sticking) until they float, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.

7. Transfer pierogi to wok or skillet with reserved bacon drippings and olive oil in batches and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 1 - 2 minutes per side. 

8. Transfer to a bowl and serve with sour cream and chives.
