Haven't made but will. I also am Polish descent and I am so sad because I and a cousin are the last of the pierogi makers, and I can't get the dough thin like my mother did.My favorite one are the farmer's cheese (pop cheese). When mom and dad would come to visit us for a month we spent hours making them and freezing for another time. The store bought ones CANNOT compare to the REAL ones.

My grandmother, aunts & I actually made over 600 different filled pierogi for the holidays once - from potato & onion (my favorite) to plum butter filled (their favorite). We froze most of them, and enjoyed them for months. I have tried the frozen ones, and they are not bad at all.... do you think this recipe would work if you cut the frozen ones into thirds? This recipe sounds wonderful, and very easy. Thanks!

Being of Polish and Slovakian decent, I've eaten pierogies my entire life. Who cares about how healthy they are, this is a staple of Eastern European countries that not only feeds the masses and is a comfort food that everyone will enjoy! My favorite meal is still homemade onion cheese potato pierogies served with fried cabbage and a boiled Polish sausage (kielbasa with horseradish). I still use my Grandma's recipe and get smiling faces every time I serve them up. The secret is in making the dough; add sour cream to the dough mixture. It'll take practice to get the amounts of water and sour cream to get the dough to the right consistency, but with time you'll figure it out. Stuff and fold them, then just boil them up till they float, remove and drain then add to a fry pan that already has lots of semi-caramelized onions that have been sauted in bacon fat. Add more bacon fat and saute till desired doneness and serve immediately with sour cream/horseradish sauce and top with finely chopped green onions. Enjoy -

OH YES! My dad was polish and mom Slovanian. (hey, could we be related?)And I get our kielbasa from a Polish family in Cleveland!! You make them exactly the way mom and my aunt made them. I also loved the potato with American cheese mixed together and the pot cheese ones.

I spent a whole day learning all about pierogi making and all I learned is that it is alot easier to go to the store and buy them allready made! My back and feet hurt so bad that we all took home some of each kind and I did not cook them for about a month!

I am Polish, but born here. I realize that most people don't really know that when you say pierogi, this is already the plural form. The singular is pieroga. Pierogi have many fillings, i.e., potatoe and cheese, meat (made with onions), sauerkraut and mushroom, farmers cheese, (made with eggs and sugar) various berries, various fruit fillings such as plums, strawberry, etc., or just with flavorful mashed potatoe. My mother made these every Friday and we all loved them. They are work, but worth the effort. Try the internet for recipies. Good luck.

These are delicious !! Imade them with the mini pierogi (POPPY's Mini bites work way better than the other known brand Mrs. #"s....left out the fulll brand name....someone else has mentioned them here). Poppy's are the perfect size for this recipe....and way better. For those uncertain of what a pierogi is....It's a potato & cheese filling stuffed pasta shell.

These sound great! Polish Pierogi's are in the frozen section of your supermarket (NY). We have local markets that sell their own homemade ones, or you can make them yourself. Much easier to buy frozen or fresh from local store. Another good ethnic food from Utica, besides Italian!

I used regular sized spinach/cheese pierogi and served them w/sour cream as a side dish. They were great, but next time I am going to wrap the Pierogi in a sliced onion then wrap the bacon around it....................the brown sugar will be delightful w/the onion wrapped in bacon....................and you can re-heat any leftovers to be used in the future....

I can't wait to try these. The pierogies are low in fat. I have low fat bacon. I'm wondering if I cook them on a wire rack sprayed with cooking spray if that will work. Then whatever f at is left would drain off reducing the fat content even further.

I've found you need to closely read the nutritional info on the back of packages. Turkey bacon isn't always healthy. It depends on what part of the turkey they use. Sometimes it even has a higher fat content than traditional bacon. Look for a name brand center cut bacon. I don't want to get into advertising brands, so make sure you read the nutrition info on the back of packages and compare!

Pierogies are so very good. Yes, these are like a ravioli, but originated in Poland. My fave is the potato and cheese. Traditionally, you boil them first until they float. Then brown them in a skillet with butter and onions. You can deep fry them, too! Yum!!
