Questions about Potato- or cheese-filled dumpling
What are pierogi filled with potato and cheese called?
They are often called pierogi ruskie, a Polish variety filled with potato and twaróg, a mild, crumbly fresh cheese. The name does not mean they come from Russia; it is associated with historic Red Ruthenia.
How do you cook frozen pierogi?
Drop them straight into gently boiling salted water and stir once so they do not stick. When they float, simmer for another 2–3 minutes, then lift them out with a slotted spoon; pan-fry them afterwards for crisp edges.
Can you fry pierogi without boiling them first?
For fresh pierogi, yes: fry them in a little butter or oil over medium heat, turning until golden and cooked through. Frozen ones are more reliable if boiled first, as the outside can brown before the filling has thawed.
What do you serve with potato-and-cheese pierogi?
Sour cream, fried onions and chopped dill are classic accompaniments; crispy bacon is another familiar topping. They also work with a sharp cabbage salad or pickled cucumber to cut through the rich filling.
How do you stop pierogi sticking together after cooking?
Drain them well and toss gently with a little butter or oil, especially if you are holding them before serving. Spread them in a single layer rather than piling them into a bowl, where the damp dough can stick.
Can you freeze cooked pierogi?
Yes. Cool them, arrange them in a single layer on a tray until firm, then transfer to a sealed freezer container. Reheat from frozen in simmering water or fry gently until hot all the way through.
Are pierogi the same as potato dumplings?
No: pierogi have a thin dough wrapper around a filling, while potato dumplings are usually made from potato dough and may be unfilled. Potato dumplings have 98 kcal per 100 g, compared with 195 kcal in pierogi.
How filling is a typical serving of pierogi?
A typical portion is about 114 g, usually several pierogi depending on their size. That portion provides 222 kcal and 6 g of protein.
