Prepare the dough: In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, and salt.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the egg, sour cream, and water. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Knead gently until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Make the filling: Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes with butter until smooth. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon. Set aside.
Roll out the dough: Lightly flour your work surface with gluten-free flour. Roll the chilled dough out to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter (approximately 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles.
Assemble the perogies: Place a small spoonful of potato-cheddar-bacon filling into the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape and press the edges together firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
Cook the perogies: Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Carefully add the perogies in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.
Optional step for sautΓ©ing: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the boiled perogies and sautΓ© until golden brown on both sides, about 2 minutes per side.
Serve: Serve warm with sour cream, caramelized onions, or chives as a garnish.
