Directions
Polish Pierogies (Potato Cheese),These pierogies are much better than store bought in my opinion. They take some time to prepare, but they are worth it. Experiment with different fillings…I have tried everything from sauerkraut to tuna salad! If you have never had pierogies, they are pasta pockets usually filled with a potato filling. My grandmother was Polish, and we have always had pierogies at Easter, New Year’s and just as a side dish throughout the year. I am always so surprised when people ask what they are because I have always known and just assumed everyone else did :),I like using the egg in the recipe to make the dough less likely to tear and makes for a better seal. Also, I have used instant Mashed Potatoes several times but the only difference is, just like using real potatoes, I don’t use milk and butter as in the package instructions – only water and salt. Then, when cooled, I add the cheese and onions. And I make sure that the potatoes are not soft and whipped. You don’t want a mushy filling regardless if real or instant.,My grandmother used to make sweet pierogies. They were delicious, but I haven’t been able to find a recipe for the filling. Anyone have one?
