The BEST Recipe for Potato Pierogi You Must Try!

Serving: Serve the pierogi hot with a drizzle of melted butter, sautéed onions, or a side of sour cream for extra richness. They pair well with a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.

Storage: Store leftover pierogi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, you can pan-fry them with a little butter until crispy on the outside, or boil them again for a softer texture.

Freezing: You can freeze uncooked pierogi by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen solid, transfer them to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. To cook, boil them directly from frozen, adding an extra minute to the cooking time.

Variations:

Cheese and Potato Pierogi: Add shredded cheddar or mozzarella to the potato filling for an extra cheesy twist.

Bacon and Onion Pierogi: Add crispy bacon bits to the filling for a savory, smoky flavor.

Vegetarian Pierogi: Swap the cheese for sautéed mushrooms or spinach for a veggie-packed filling.

FAQ:

Can I use store-bought dough? Yes, you can use store-bought pierogi dough for convenience, but the homemade dough has a much richer flavor and texture.

How do I make pierogi without sour cream? You can substitute sour cream with plain yogurt or a bit of heavy cream for a similar creamy texture in the dough.
