Pierogi, filled dumplings, are found throughout central and eastern Europe, but are possibly best known in Poland. The fillings vary from mushrooms, minced meat, potato, onions, cheese, or even sweet fillings like fruit or vanilla custard. Usually they are boiled and served with toppings, but they can also be pan-fried after boiling, adding a bit of crunch to the tender dough and filling.

I'll definitely try this recipe! Pierogi with cabbage and potatoes are a regional dish, not popular in my part of Poland, so I'm curious how they taste! However, frying pierogi in a pan is popular throughout Poland. Greetings from Poland! I love your app – it helps me take care of my health and cook deliciously.

I am so happy about this recipe. My boyfriend's half Polish and we usually have Pierogi nights as a date night activity. ☺️ Highly recommended for get-togethers with friends as well, Pierogis can be quite labor intensive but it brings people together ☺️ Hugs from Hungary to our Polish friends! ❤️
