      1 c  Chopped green onions
       2 c  Mashed potatos
       1 ts Salt
   2 1/2 c  Sifted all-purpose flour
     1/2 ts Salt
     2/3 c  Vegetable oil
            Additional oil to brush on
            -dough
 ---------------------------------DIRECTIONS---------------------------------
       6 tb Rendered chicken fat or
            -butter
       2 tb Sour cream
     1/4 ts Pepper
   1 1/2 ts Baking powder
       2 ea Eggs, beaten
       2 tb Water
  
   Saute scallions in chicken fat.  Combine with potatos, sour cream, salt,
   and pepper. Remove from heat. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together
   flour, baking powder, and salt. Add eggs and oil or chicken fat. Mix until
   smooth, but do not overmix. Turn out on a lightly floured board, knead
   gently a few times, then roll out to 1/4 inch thick. Brush pastry with oil.
   Cut out 6-inch circles of dough, re-rolling scraps. You should get about 8
   circles.  Put 2-3 tbs of filling into the center of each circle. Draw the
   edges of the dough to the center and pinch it together to make a seamless
   pocket. Prick once or twice with a toothpick. Place pastries on a baking
   sheet and bake 30-35 minutes, until medium brown.
