Cooking Instructions
- Classic
For Best Quality, quicker prep time and a classic taste, quicker prep time and a classic taste, heat 3-4 qtrs. of water in a pot and bring to a slow boil. Add a tsp. of salt for taste. Place frozen pierogi in boiling water and cook uncovered for 2 to 3 minutes or until they rise to the top. Stir occasionally, and drain thoroughly once done. Do not overcook.
IMPORTANT: Overcooking will decrease the quality of the dough.
Option: Once the pierogi have cooked, and have been thoroughly drained, you can fry them on a pan for a crispy taste. Place pierogi on a skillet with a bit of oil and fry on low heat until evenly brown on both side.
- Fried
IMPORTANT: Make sure to keep on low heat as you fry the pierogi as high heat toughens the dough.
- Potato, Cheddar & Jalapeno Pierogi serving tips:
- Take a ¼ cup of bacon, finely diced and allow it to partially fry over a bit of oil in a skillet. Chop half an onion and add to the partly fried bacon. Once the onion has become translucent and bacon is crisp drizzle the contents of the pan over your plate of pierogi. Serve and enjoy! Skip the bacon for a vegetarian version.
- Serve with a side of sour cream sprinkled with a bit of green onion or chive or some chopped fresh jalapeno chiles for an extra bite.
