Homemade Potato and Cheese Pierogi
Homemade potato and cheese pierogi are tender dumplings filled with creamy mashed potatoes, cheese, and lightly cooked onion, then boiled and finished in butter. They are different from a simple potato side dish because the filling is wrapped in a soft dough, giving you that comforting contrast between tender pasta-like dough and rich, savory potato filling. I make these when I want a cozy family meal that works in winter, during the holidays, or any time of year when potatoes, cheese, and butter sound like the right answer.
