Preheat oven to 400 degrees F/205 degrees C. Spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with non- stick cooking spray. Prepare mashed potatoes, as per package directions. Cool. NOTE * use a low-fat milk and margarine to reduce calories. Add remaining filling ingredients.
Wash and cut the zucchini in half, lengthwise. Use a spoon to scoop the seeds and centre out of each zucchini half, leaving at least ¼ inch thick zucchini boat.
Place the zucchini in the baking dish cut-side up.
Spoon the perogy filling mixture into the zucchini boats. Press the mixture down into the zucchini using the back of the spoon.
Cover the baking dish with foil. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until soft enough that fork can easily go into zucchini, but is still firm.
Garnish:
If desired, add a dollop of sour cream, sprinkle with dill and serve.
