Potato and Cheese Pierogi

Potato and Cheese Pierogi

Everyday

Potato and cheese pierogi are traditional Eastern European dumplings featuring a thin, unleavened wheat dough wrapped around a savory filling of mashed potatoes and farmer’s cheese. These stuffed pockets are typically boiled and then pan-fried to create a tender interior with lightly crisped edges, offering a satisfying contrast in textures. While providing carbohydrates from the dough and potatoes alongside protein from the cheese, they are often served with high-calorie toppings like sour cream or bacon, making portion awareness key for nutritional tracking.
