Notes
1. Whisk eggs, water, sour cream together.

9. Divide dough into thirds. Roll dough to 1/16th of an inch thick. Cut into 3 inch circles.
10. Place mashed potato in center of circle. Fold dough to make half moons. Seal with an egg wash (one egg whisked with Tbsp milk) and press edges with a fork.
