I made this dough and had to add more water, even added an egg to try to make it stick together. I did use it, but not happy with the way it rolled out. The filling was wonderful. I had made this dough and another on this site made with sour cream. I used both, but liked the sour cream version much better for the dough. I used sharp grated cheese. Very happy with the cheese potato filling. Thank you for this recipe.

Very good recipe, although I halved the recipe, doubled the amount of cheese, and more than doubled the amount of salt recommended.

I used the dough recipe as I make my own family recipe for my filling..I think by adding the water at a very warm temperature could be making the difference, as for elasticity...It sure worked for me! Great reviews as for taste as well! So thanx!!! Mucho!!

Fantastic recipe - thank you for this one Olga. I spent the first half of my life in Ukraine second in US, but there's no one to teach me our authentic Ukrainian cuisine as my grandmother did all the cooking and she's passed away before I came of age. I only have wonderful memories of helping out in the kitchen as a child. One of the best meals were varenyky!! I treasure every bit of a clue I can find in terms of Ukrainian cooking- PLEASE KEEP 'EM COMING :)

A very good recipe. I used 1 cup of whole wheat flour and omitted the onions from the filling. Next time I will use the onions and maybe some bacon to add a little more flavor.

For those who haven't made these before, they taste so good if you boil them first, then remove with a slotted spoon to a skillet with onion browned in margarine and fry them until they're just getting brown on each side - they have a much better texture then. And if you think you don't like sauerkraut, try these anyway, you'll be surprised!

I made this for my Russian husband. He thought they were excellent; just like his mom makes. It was a little bit messy to prepare but the end result was great.

Honestly surprised over the ratings on this, but looks like everyone else already knew what a perogy was and I've never made these before. Sounded good; extreme disappointment. To begin with, the dough was hard to handle as has been mentioned. I was stuck with the rolling pin, and I rolled and rolled and rolled, about killed myself getting these things thin enough to handle all that filling. And even rolling as thin as I could, there was twice as much filling as what was needed. (I also should've done the mashing idea.) It was also difficult to pinch them closed. And then, only to discover after all this work, cooking these in water I thought was disgusting -- like just wet raw dough & not really like the dumplings I've had. Didn't want the fat of frying them so tried baking the next batch, which was better but still only just edible. (Yes, I did eat them all.) I used the potato filling and the one redeeming quality was that with all that leftover filling, I added a bit of mayo and it made a pretty good potato salad. :-)

Very good. Only made 1/4 of the recipie which was good for one meal for me and my husband. We like to fry them and then dip them in marinara sauce (untraditional we know). Very time consuming to make so next time I will make some to freeze. Can't wait to try the alternate filling.

This is just how my baba and I make them. They were wonderful! I did add more water. You just have to have a feel for the dough it has to be soft and sticky enough to roll out, then cut and roll again. Wonderful!

I am giving 4 stars, since I would give the fillings a 5 and the dough a 3! Both fillings were very tasty, although very fattening! I boiled my potatoes in the skins, then peeled and mashed them. This holds in the flavor, as well as preventing them from being watery,(less work too!). I would give the dough 3 stars, because mine turned out tough, and very difficult to roll out. That may have been my fault though,since for some reason, I had to add more water than called for because it was too dry with the half cup. Oh, a lttle warning...be sure you have the extra time to make these, as they are very time consuming! Overall, a good recipe though.

I made the potato filling without the onions because my boyfriend hates onions. I mashed the potatoes a little rather than leaving them in cubes, as another review suggested. While I was rolling out the first piece of dough I noticed its similarity to pasta dough - so I used my pasta maker to roll the dough out nice and thin. It was much easier than fighting with a rolling pin! I'll make these again for sure - everyone loved them!

These perogies were so good, just like the kind my mom always made. Absolutely delicious. A lot of work, but not difficult.

I've tried homemade perogies at a ukrainian friend's home a couple times before, and I had a craving for them so I decided to make them myself using this recipe... They were good, but not excellent. The filling was good but could have had a bit more flavour. The problem was the dough was so tough to roll out and it was hard to get it nice and thin. Then in the boiling process, it just didn't seem to come out nicely, so we fried them up, which improved it a lot. Everyone enjoyed these, but I have had better, and am still searching for the perfect recipe.

I've never made perogies from scratch before, but this was relatively easy and simple to follow. They do take a while to make, but perogies in general take a while to make. I would mash the potatoes rather than leaving them in cubes though. This makes it easier to handle. If you mash the potatoes 5 potatoes is sufficient. Mixing some bacon bits into the potatoes also helps to add flavour. Overall, great recipie. Worth trying~!
