In The Kitchen with Laura McKenna: Pierogi

I’m always amazed to hear that so many people have never had a pierogi!

You have no idea what you’re missing. Homemade versions are delicious but there’s nothing wrong with grabbing a box from the frozen food aisle to try.

You can boil these mashed potato dumplings and garnish as you wish….

Or, try my favorite way to eat a pierogi:

Start with a little olive oil in a sauté pan and get the oil heated. Place the frozen (or fresh) pierogi into the pan and get both sides of the pierogi a little crisped up.

Remove them from the skillet and place them on a plate. Top with a some sour cream, some caramelized onions, and enjoy!

I’ve also topped them with warm sauerkraut or even eaten them plain with just a little olive oil drizzled over the top. There’s really no wrong way to eat a pierogi (or six). Because one will never be enough!
