Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 -180 g pkg of instant mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup dry curd cottage cheese
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 cup real bacon bits
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 1/3 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dill
  • 2 -391 g pkgs of store-bought refrigerated pizza dough (* I use Pillsbury)
  • 1 -4 oz can of sliced black olives
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup pizza sauce

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F/205 degrees C. Spray cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Prepare mashed potatoes, as per package directions.  Cool.
  • Add remaining filling ingredients.
  • Roll out store-bought dough into a large rectangle.
  • Cut into circles with a round cookie cutter or rim of a mug or cup (about 3 inches wide)
  • Drop about a teaspoon of mixture into middle of dough circle.
  • Pull one edge down over the other, as you would a perogy and seal edges (you may need to use a little water if it won't seal)
  • Then simply shape it into a phantom/ghoulish figure, as in the photo above. They don't all have to look identical. In fact, it's better if they don't.
  • Add 2 sliced black olives for eyes and 1 for mouth (I do some without the mouth to mix them up a bit.)
  • Bake in preheat oven for 8- 10 minutes (or until lightly browned on bottom).
  • Dip: Mix your favourite pizza sauce and sour cream together and serve.
