Perogies full of Potato Goodness
Pierogies...are like a little potato pocket of joy. What is a pierogie anyway? According to Wikipedia ...
Pierogi /pɨˈroʊɡi/ (Polish pronunciation: [pjɛˈrɔɡʲi]; also spelled perogi, pierogy, perogy, pierógi, pyrohy, pirogi, pyrogie, or pyrogy in English or other Slavic languages; juvenile diminutive form: Pierożki Polish pronunciation: [pjɛˈrɔʂki] also in use) are dumplings of unleavened dough – first boiled, at which point they can be served with melted butter or various toppings, or then fried with onions – traditionally stuffed with potato filling, sauerkraut, ground meat, cheese, or fruit. Of Central and Eastern European provenance, they are usually semicircular, but are rectangular or triangular in some cuisines.
The Polish name pierogi is plural;[1] the singular form pieróg is rarely used, as a typical serving consists of several pierogis.
Pierogi are similar to the Russian pelmeni or Ukrainian varenyky and are not to be confused with pirozhki (the Russian word for stuffed fried buns) or a pirog (the Russian word for "pie").
No matter which way you pronounce it or spell it this is an age old comfort food which is seeing a new resurgence here in America in its popularity.
