Roll out the dough on a floured surface until thin.

Cut the dough into circles or squares.

Place a spoonful of cheese mixture in the center of each piece of dough.

Fold the dough over to create a pocket; seal the edges with a fork.

Fry the pies in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Serve warm with additional sour cream on the side.
