Chef tips
To prevent your pierogi from opening while boiling, seal the edges tightly with a fork or by pinching them by hand. Avoid overfilling so the dough doesn't stretch too thin and tear. For a classic family style, top with onions sautéed until deep golden brown. For a rich dairy version, serve with a dollop of cold sour cream—it pairs perfectly with the potato filling.
