Add to flour, baking soda and salt. Rub well together. Mix oil, water and beaten eggs and add to flour mixture. Knead and add more flour if needed to make a rather sticky dough (not dry). Pinch off a piece of dough, flatten in the palm of your hand and fill with a mixture of mashed potato, Cheez Whiz, bacon pieces (optional), salt & pepper to taste. Deep fry until brown. These also freeze well. This dish is typical of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
