Dough:
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup & 2 tbsp water
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
Mix ingredients together until dough has a good consistency. Should not be too sticky or too dry.

Filling:
3-4 potatoes, boiled & mashed
2 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
3 eggs
1 1/4 grated cheese (your choice of flavor)
Mash ingredients together while potatoes are still hot so the cheese and butter will melt. Add whatever other flavorings you like -- onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper are all good.

Preheat oven to 400^o.

Take a ball of dough about the size of a walnut and flatten it into a circle about 1/4 of an inch thick. Put one teaspoon of filling on the dough, and fold it over into a half-moon shape. (Make sure not to put too much filling, or you won't have enough room to seal the boreca.) Moisten the edges of the dough with water, and seal by pressing the edges together with the tines of a fork.

Brush the borecas with beaten egg, sprinkle with extra grated cheese if desired, and bake on ungreased cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Serve hot or cold.

Variations: Add sauteed onions, and/or sauteed mushrooms, and/or roasted garlic, and/or whatever else takes your fancy to the filling. For a non-dairy version, leave out the cheese and replace the butter with margarine.
