Instructions
- Dough: Whichever you use, mix all ingredients to make a soft dough. Knead well. Roll out until thin. Use a round donut cutter or glass to cut out rounds.

Potato Filling: Mash by hand. Add cream cheese, melted butter, salt/pepper and Cheddar to flavor.
Cabbage Filling: Add salt and let stand for 1 hour. Squeeze out water from cabbage and fry in butter until browned. Add some sugar ( 1-2 teaspoons). Don't burn.
Cheese Filling: Combine and mix.
