How to use this list

Common mistakes OR What to skip
Don’t use pre-shredded cheese or low-fat substitutes; the texture and flavor won’t be right. Avoid overworking the dough, which can make it tough. Don’t skip the fresh chives—they add needed brightness. Resist the temptation to use only sour cream or only yogurt; the combination gives the sauce its signature tang. Don’t forget to season both the filling and the dough.
