Much easier to make than individual perogies. Can make a day ahead and bake just before serving. Will keep hot in a warming tray for parties. If you want to make individual perogies, you can use round wonton wrappers, fill with a small amount of potato filling, fold, seal and boil until they float. Serve with the extra butter/onion mixture.

(Note, if pan doesn't hold all of the potato mixture you can bake it in a separate casserole dish). Put another layer of noodles on top. Spread remaining butter/onion mixture over top. Cover with foil. (May make to this point and refrigerate. If so allow extra baking time). Bake at 350F for 1 (one) hour or until heated through.
