Our favorite way to serve savory pierogi is the traditional way. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.  Add the frozen pierogi, no more than a dozen at a time. Bring back to a boil, until they float, then cook for another 3-4 minutes. Give them a quick rinse in cold water so they don’t stick together, then serve them with sautéed onions and a side of sour cream.

Many people prefer their pierogi pan-fried after boiling — cooked in butter or oil until golden brown and crisp, then finished with their favorite toppings. You can also deep fry them at 350 degrees, until golden, and use them to dip in sour cream, gravy, or ranch! You can even top them with taco meat, cheese and pop them in the oven for a Nacho Pierogi!

Other topping ideas:

• Crumbled bacon

• Mushroom gravy

• Applesauce

• Cheese curds

• Chili or stew

Anywhere you would serve potatoes or rice, you can serve pierogi — or simply make a meal of them on their own.
