5-6 medium potatoes
½ block firm tofu
2 medium onions

½ block firm tofu
1 tsp soy sauce

Instructions
Prepare the ingredients: peel the potatoes and cut them into quarters. Boil the potatoes for 25 minutes or until soft. (pinch with a fork to check)
To make the bacon bits: Cut ½ of the tofu into small cubes, approx. 0.5cm. In a medium bowl, place the tofu. Add soy sauce, maple syrup, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until evenly coated.
In a large frying pan, heat the oil and place the tofu. Fry and stir for between 7-8 minutes.

Spread vegan butter over both sides of the bread slices.
Heat a large frying pan, place 2 slices of buttered bread. Fry for 3 minutes on medium heat, flip and spread the pierogi mix on top of one of the slices. Cover with the 2nd bread slice, press to combine. Fry for 2-3 more minutes.
