Polish Pierogi : Ethnic Comfort Food That is Slightly Stuffed
Ranked #930 in Food & Cooking, #17,100 overall
They're half circular dumplings of unleavened dough stuffed with mashed potato, cabbage, dry cottage cheese, assorted meats and fruits!
OMG, I did not like that prune fruit as I seem to remember always getting a pit in my Polish Pierogi oh my!
Did you know that the pierogi has an unknown origin, but it does have strong links to the Slavic culture. I grew up associating the pierogi with the Eastern European country of Poland.
Well, nowadays if I don't have time to make my Stuffed Cabbage Rolls like grandma Julia Nagy taught me, I opt for some Polish Pierogi. I love to serve it with butter and lots and lots of fried onions. Check out the best-ever recipes for Polish Pierogi. OMG, my tastebuds are absolutely drooling. Yumm Yumm!
They're half circular dumplings of unleavened dough stuffed with cheese, mashed potato, cabbage, dry cottage cheese, assorted meats and fruits! I sure do LOVE Polish Pierogi you all.

These Slavic and non-Slavic peoples have Pierogi as a part of their culture: Poles, Ukrainians, Romanians, Russians, Lithuanians, Latvians, and Slovaks. Well, that explains why it was featured in our house at so many meals -- I'm of Eastern European descent. Something else that is curious about the pierogi is that there is a definite similarity to Italian ravioli. In East Asia, similar food is served, such as Chinese jiaozi, Japanese gyoza, and Korean mandoo.

How to make a Polish Pierogi
Ah, part of the best-ever recipes collection!
The dough:3 cups of flour
2 spoons of oil
1/2 cups of warm water
salt
The filling:
3-4 boiled potatos
250g white cheese
2 onions
salt and pepper
First make the filling: fry onions on butter until golden brown, mash potatos and mix with cheese, fry onions salt and pepper.
Make the dough: mix all ingredients together and knead just a bit. The dough should be not very smooth, should be quite stickly (you can use more water or more flour). Take a portion of dough and roll. Cut not too big and not too small circles (the best way is by using a glass or aluminum cup).
Put in every circle one small spoon of filling. Seal pierogi by pressing the edges by fingers.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Put there pierogi. Cook until the dumplings float to the surface. --kornasia.com.

A Tailgater's Recipe for Polish Pierogi
The Pierogi goes mainstream!
Select the pierogi of your choice. You'll find them in the frozen food aisle. Follow the package directions for cooking which will tell you how long to boil in salted water.Cut up one large onion and fry in a frying pan with butter until golden. Also fry one package of bacon until done -- do not overcook.
In a disposable aluminum rectangular tin, arrange the dozen or so pierogi. Add one stick of butter cut into pieces. Spread the cooked onion on top along with the cooked bacon. Cover with aluminum foil.
When tailgating, you can put this on a low to medium grill and heat up until the pierogi, onion, and bacon are warm. Serve with a dollup of sour cream. --Recipe is courtesy of Todd Sander, a local tailgating chef in Jacksonville, FL.
