Instructions
If you use store bought mashed potatoes, cook them according to the directions on the package then set them aside until they reach room temperature. If you are using leftover mashed potatoes skip this step.
Lay down a piece of parchment paper and fill a small bowl with water. Place as many wrappers as you want to do at a time on the parchment paper, leaving a little space between them. Fill the center of each wrapper with about 1-2 teaspoons of mashed potato. Dip a finger into your water bowl and make a ring with the water along the edges of the first wrapper, then fold the wrapper in half and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers until you have made as many as you feel like making. I usually set up a large cookie sheet to move the folded perogies onto while I do the next set.
If you want to eat the perogies immediately, pre-heat your air fryer to 400 °F and cook them in a single layer for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through. If you want to freeze the perogies for later place them in a single layer on a large cookie sheet and freeze them for 1-2 hours, then transfer them to an airtight container. The cooking directions will be the same but may take a minute or two longer than non-frozen.
