My family loves perogies, so I decided to create my own version. I took these to a Christmas party and they won rave reviews. When we left the party, I took home an empty pan—not a crumb to be found. —Kim Wallace, Dover, Ohio

I also am a widow ,however I live with my daughter and her family. Sometimes I'm cooking for one and sometimes for seven! This recipe is so easy for one. Boil a few shells, mix up some instant mashed potatoes, or microwave some fresh potatoes. Then just jazz those potatoes up. You can add ham, bacon, sauerkraut, green onion, peas, the possibilities are ENDLESS!

These shells are wonderful. I made them for a work party last year and now every time their is a party everyone lines up and grabs them. My dish is usually the first to be emptied and I always make a double batch. Thank you very much for the wonderful quick and easy dish.

This was soooo good! I served it with sour cream on the side and it was excellent. I also used smoked cheddar because I had it in the fridge and I really liked the taste. Might try adding bacon next time but I intend to make this again!

This recipe sounds great.  Will definitely be trying it out.  Sometimes making perogies by stratch is a little too much work.

I LOVED THIS RECIPE. My husband isn't a big pasta fan but he ate half of the pan. I used the instant potato's in this recipe. I used the stuffed potato flavor and added a little sour cream, cheese and bacon crumbles on top. YUMMY. Thank so very much for this recipe. I will use it all the time. It is even good warmed up.

Sorry but I think the comment from ahtinahw was rude and uncalled for.angelkiss405

You must be joking! Certainly this comment was not made in honesty!! ANY PERSON who cooks on a daily basis, knows how to make enough pasta shells for 1 or 2 people...and using mashed potatoes for the same number....I believe this "GrandmaGitz " is a hoax!!!!

I am a widow who lives alone and 17 servings would last (maybe) forever. Any suggestions on perhaps what would be needed to make servings for perhaps 1 or 2?
