My Polish Grandmother taught me to make pierogis by browning onions in corn oil and adding them to the hot mashed potatoes with white american cheese and a generous seasoning of salt and pepper. We also serve these with fried onions and a creamy sauce made with mushrooms, milk, and butter. Try this for an authentic pierogi experience.

I live in residence at university but want to avoid the storebought, processed meals that all the other students live on. So, I made a triple batch of these, and keep a big bag of them in the freezer. I added a generous amount of garlic, pepper, and Garlic Tabasco to the potato filling, and I must say that frying them is essential - they taste absolutely perfect that way (along with a huge amount of caramelized onions, of course.) Thank you for this delicious alternative to storebought food... my pierogi cravings have been (temporarily) satisfied!

The flavour of these perogies was so much better than store-bought! But I had way way way too much potato filling - I got 17 perogies out of the batch, and used maybe 1/3 of the potato mixture. I'd cut the potatoes to 2 lbs, bacon to 1/3 lb, and the cheese to 1/2 cup next time.

I followed the recipe for the most part to make the dough, but my polish family always sauteed ground beef and sauerkraut together in a pan and then used this mixture to stuff the dough. Also after we boil the perogies, we always fry them in a pan with onions. Not the healthiest meal, but it is very good. I am not really sure what the "traditional" filling is, but my family either used potatos and cheese or this ground beef version, which is the family favorite. We also always served potato salad and coleslaw and my grandfathers homemade polish kielbasa!

I couldn't rate the kid part because I didn't feed this to a child, but I thought they rocked! Fantastic flavor. I made a vegetarian version however, which is really the authentic way anyhow. I used smoked mozzerlla and aged white cheddar though. The smoked flavor is incredible! I also fried them in olive oil and onions. Thank you.

I used this recipe only for the dough, and added some fresh cracked pepper for a little flavour. Make sure you keep the dough thick enough, or they all fall apart when boiled!

This was a great recipie. My kids and family love the pototo version and have asked for it several times since I first made it. It is time consuming though. I use peppered bacon, and fry the boiled perogies in the bacon grease. My only problem was there wasn't enough dough. I had to double that part of the recipie. My husband took some to work, and a coworker offered to pay me to make some for him! Thank you, Doris
