Making the dough
Rolling out and cutting
little helper!
Potato & Onion (my favorite)
forming the pierogi
Crimping!(much better with these than my hair ;))
Sauerkraut filling(sauerkraut, drained and cooked with onions and butter, seasoned w/salt and pepper)
the sauerkraut ones get forked
lined up and ready for action!
Cooked, ready for cooling and freezing.I should note, that they can be frozen without cooking, you just don't want to defrost them before cooking them (i.e. add them still frozen to boiling, salted water). With the amount of people we had in the kitchen, it wasn't too much work to cook them a few minutes, cooled, and then frozen. This makes it a little easier on the eating end :)
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!! I'm (hopefully) on a bus home right now, looking forward to spending some time with the family!

Thats so fun that ya'll made pierogis! I hope you enjoy eating every last one. This post reminded how delicious they are and I added the pre-made ones to my food list for next week :)
yum! the pierogis look perfect.
That is a recipe I need to try! I didn't grow up with pierogis, but have been intrigued by them lately.
I've been wanting to make homemade pierogi for John, and this tutorial is great! Your uncle's photos are amazing, by the way.
Oh man those look good.
Happy Tuesday,

I love pierogis! Potato + mushroom is usually my favorite filling :)
How fun! I love pierogi, gotta make some over the winter break! Happy holidays!
What a fun thing to do! I love hearing about other people's family traditions. I have never had a pierogi but this is making me want some now! Are they similar to ravioli?
Those look amazing! I really want to try and make some, now. Maybe I can get my family to get in on the action. I think homemade would taste so much better than storebought, too. :-)
those are so precious!!!
This is an awesome post! I absolutely love pierogies. They are so delicious. Thanks so much for the pics. Enjoy your night!
Pierogi are Christmas. That's pretty much all I have to say on that :)
I love pierogi! I actually love most anything with a filling. Ravioli, dumplings, burritos lol. Do you think you could make winter squash-stuffed pierogi! Hmmmm....
Pierogis are SO delicious! Definitely one of those foods I always wish I ate more often, though I'm rarely at a restaurant that serves them, of course. And then I never want to get the store-bought kind in a frozen box. I guess that means I'm supposed to make em myself, eh?
wow pierogis! i've never had one but i know i'd love em because i like all the components :). love the step by step pictures! Merry Christmas!
Yum. I adore pierogis. I made some for a super bowl party a few years ago and they are such a hit.
Oh wow! These look delicious =D. I love traditions like this one - Happy Holidays!
Just wanted to drop by once more to say Merry Christmas!
On my list of things to do for the new year is to make homemade pierogis - you make it look so easy!
Oohhhh....OMG they look SO good! I've never had pierogis before, but they look like Chinese dumplings! Sweet!
Merry Christmas!!!!
Oh, yum! I've actually never made my own pierogis, but I love them so much, it's definitely about time I tried to. Thanks for the inspiration.
Happy holidays!
I wish I had some of these for breakfast today!
Potato and onion are my favorite too! My aunt makes them every Christmas, so I just had some! She also makes ones with sauerkraut and bacon. She taught me how to make pierogi a few years ago so I've made a couple of batches on my own. After surveying my empty freezer, I'm realizing I need to make more! Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
I have never made pierogi's. They look very tasty!
wowowowowow! awesome!
Yummy!!!!!!!
I have a plan to make this pierogi.
I would be all over the sauerkraut ones (without onion of course!).
I hope you had a wonderful holiday Shannon! Have a nice time with your family :D
Happy Holidays!!!
The pierogis look delicious :)
