Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-low. Add onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and jammy, about 12 minutes.
Step 2
While onions cook, mix mashed potatoes with cheddar and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.
Step 3
Lay a wonton wrapper on the counter. Spoon 1 tbsp potato filling into the center. Wet the edges with water, fold into a triangle, then bring the two corners together. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
Step 4
Transfer caramelized onions to a plate. Add remaining 2 tbsp oil to the skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 5
Working in batches, pan-fry pierogi 90 seconds per side until crispy and golden brown. Do not crowd the pan.
Step 6
Serve pierogi topped with caramelized onions and a dollop of sour cream.
