Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Cook lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Peel and dice the potatoes into chunks. Boil in salted water for about 15 minutes, or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
Mash the potatoes with butter, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasonings to taste. Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted. Set aside.
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and caramelized. Remove from heat.
Assemble the lasagna: Spread a thin layer of mashed potatoes on the bottom of the baking dish. Place 3 lasagna noodles on top. Spread one-third of the mashed potato mixture over the noodles, then sprinkle with caramelized onions and 1/3 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat this layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let the pierogi lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with sour cream and chopped green onions, if desired.
