Pierogi (Traditional Polish Dumplings)
This Polish pierogi recipe is from my grandmother and has been handed down in our family for generations. These pierogi are filled with cheese, potatoes, and mushrooms, but you can stuff them with other fillings to your liking. There are many ways to serve pierogi. Try them topped with fried onions and parsley, or serve them with sour cream, melted butter, and fried bacon.
