Tender lasagna with a filling of creamy cheeses, mashed potatoes, onions and spices, this pierogi casserole from Taste of Home is so full of flavor, perfect for a family gathering or anytime!! 

For this recipe, I used my Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray, along with our Three Onion Rub:

The Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray offers the best of both worlds. The Stone Rectangular Baker and Stone Serving Tray combine the amazing cooking surface and heat retention of our unglazed stoneware with the beauty of our fully glazed stoneware. You can take both the baker and serving tray straight from the microwave, oven, or freezer to your table. When you’re not using it as a lid, the Stone Serving Tray can be used to bake cookies, cook veggies, serve food, or store leftovers in the fridge!

Shake on the flavor of yellow, red and green onions. Use in place of fresh onions. 1.3 oz. Gluten-free.

Russian Pierogi – Polish Your Kitchen (Video)

If you love pierogi the way that I love pierogi, then you will absolutely LOVE this recipe from Anna over at https://www.polishyourkitchen.com.

I can’t tell you how excited I am to have discovered this blog through my friend, Lucy Lou.  The first time I had pierogi was when I was confirmed in the Lutheran Church I had recently joined. As a teenager. We went to a Polish restaurant, and the pierogi tasted, to me anyway, like delicious pillowy softness from heaven.  I grew up very, very poor and everything we eat basically came from a can or a box.  The exception for me was when I went to my dear friend’s house who was from Sicily, and her mother’s cooking was exquisite. So, you can imagine my delight and discovering delicious food from another country.

Back to Lucy Lou.  She’s an AMAZING cook, and knew that I was searching for a pierogi recipe, and told me about this wonderful blog. This recipe was great, and her instructions were clear and easy to follow. I hope that you all will check it out, I was fascinated watching Anna’s video making farmers cheese! 

These pierogi were so mouthwatering, and are a great comfort food for me, and they were fantastic with my kielbasa and potatoes, recipe soon to follow! 

Thank you, Lucy Lou, for sharing, and thank you so much, Anna for making such a wonderful blog. I will definitely be back to check out more of the recipes, and I highly recommend this blog and recipe to anyone who wants to make delicious pierogi. Let’s jump right in!

What you’ll need:

For the filling:

  • 2 lb potatoes 
  • 16 oz. Farmer’s cheese (OR 16 oz. Cottage cheese plus 3-4 tbsp of plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 large onion
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground pepper

For the dough:

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/4 cup water

For the Garnish:

  • 1/2 onion
  • 6 slices bacon, sauteed and chopped

Products I used to prepare this recipe:

Cutting Board 5″ Santoku Knife Manual Food Processor Potato Masher Enameled Cast Iron Skillet with Lid 6-qt. Enameled Dutch Oven Hand Pie & Pocket Maker3-Cup Prep Bowl Set 4-Qt Plastic Mixing Bowl Mini Mix ‘N Scraper Easy-Read Measuring Cup Set Measuring Spoon Set Pastry Mat Marble Rolling Pin & Holder Set

Instructions

Dice potatoes, and boil them and salted water until they are soft, about 15 minutes.

Mash potatoes, set aside.

Chop one large onion.

Sauté onion and two tablespoons butter until the onions are golden brown.  Yum!

Mix potatoes with farmer’s cheese and onions until well combined.

For the dough, combine flour with salt, pepper, egg and water until dough forms.

Roll out dough to 1/8 in thickness.

Cut circles out of your dough, I used the Hand Pie & Pocket Maker which got the job done very quickly.

Put a tablespoon of the potato mixture into each circle, and then seal each pierogi, I again used the Hand Pie & Pocket Maker

Almost done! Boil a pot of water and add one tablespoon olive oil to it. Once the water is boiling, turn it down to a low boil. Add no more than 10 pierogi at a time to the water. Let boil on low 3 minutes, or until the pierogi float to the surface. Remove, and cook the rest of the pierogi.

If you would like the garnish, sauté your onions with the bacon. Serve the garnish on top of the pierogi.

I can only tell you how mouthwatering these pierogi were, but trust me, you have to try these yourself!
