Chef tips
To ensure your pierogi don't open during cooking, crimp the edges firmly with a fork or pinch by hand. Be careful not to overfill, as the dough might stretch too thin and burst. For a traditional family serving, top with onions fried until a deep golden brown. For a rich dairy option, serve with a spoonful of chilled sour cream which goes brilliantly with the potatoes.
