ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 1 lb frozen potato pierogi, any kind
  • 1 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried dill leaves
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 cup sour cream

directions

  • Cover the bottom of a skillet with softened butter. Arrange pierogies in the pan in a single layer. Add 1 cup water. Cover pan and place over medium-high heat. Cook, covered, 8 minutes.
  • Remove lid and cook out any remaining liquid. Let the pierogies stick to the pan and brown in the butter as the liquid evaporates. (I find that this usually takes at least 5 minutes. Try to gently nudge a pierogi - if it doesn't move easily, then it's not done yet.) Remove crisp pierogies from heat and add chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat and serve with sour cream on the side. Yum!
  • NOTE: If you're using a smaller pan for this and must make two separate batches, I recommend that you wipe out the "old" butter and recoat with fresh butter before starting the second batch.

  1. I bought some pierogies from a little Russian shop down the street with no idea how to cook them up. Then I saw this recipe and new I had to try it. Mine turned out heavenly! The trifecta of dill, parsley, and chives is dead on and I would not recommend trying it with any other herbs. The dill with the sour cream is especially yummy. These pierogies puff up like soft pillows with a golden crust. One thing, you should be very careful to keep an eye on them in the last 5 minutes when they are browning in the pan. I looked over at 3-ish minutes and they were done and I was hurrying to remove them. Any longer and I would have risked burning them. It doesn't say but maybe the heat should be turned down in the last step to avoid this potential catastrophe? I served these for dinner with Pickled Beets and the fabulous Recipe#441862. Delicious, thank you! [Made for Spring Safari PAC 2013]

  2. This one is difficult for me to rate. The recipe worked just as promised and the flavor was very good (used a shallot, chives and basil) and they looked great. All was well until the first bite. While the pan side was a lovely golden color and looked amazing they were like biting into and trying to chew a thin piece of solid oak. If we cut the tops off then we missed all of the great taste which was the whole point of cooking them this way. I used excellent hand made (not by me, lol) perogies with cheddar filling. Made for Spring 2013 PAC.

  3. I wanted something different than just plain old perogis! This did it, I used cilantro on my first batch but would leave it out next batch.Added fresh dill and chopped green onions instead of scallions. Yum yum, served with grilled chicken breast, nice and light for summer dinner. The dill makes this dish delish ;)

I'm a pretty typical 23-year-old woman from Springfield, Va. I own a pet-care business and have lived with my boyfriend for over three years. We live in a small apartment with a tiny kitchen and no dishwasher, so I like pretty simple recipes, although I love to tackle more complicated ones in my older sister's big kitchen. =)We have two dogs and no kids (yet), but we love spending time with our families, which means LOTS of family dinners, so I'm always on the prowl for yummy recipes! While we don't have kids, we have quite a few children in the family, so we love kid-friendly recipes (see next paragraph).My boyfriend is quite a picky eater - not a fan of vegetables, he likes pizza (cheese only) and hamburgers (no toppings) and pasta (plain tomato sauce), he doesn't care for spicy food and usually crinkles his nose at a lot of herbs and spices. He's definitely not an adventurous eater, and I'm willing to try anything once, so... our meals are usually pretty boring for me - even when we go out, it's usually Italian or American. I got him to eat salmon a few times, but that was back when he was trying to impress me. Alas, I fear that I'm doomed to eat the same few meals over and over again for the rest of my life - am I in food Purgatory?

How do you make frozen potstickers taste good? ›

Cook them on the grill.

Coat potstickers with oil and cook them on a hot grill, turning every few minutes until cooked through. Who knew, right?

Do you fry or steam potstickers? ›

You can steam them for a soft chewy exterior or pan-fry them for a crispy crunchy bottom! Either way, you can't go wrong with a dumpling, but there is a divide within the foodie community about which is better!

Can you just fry potstickers? ›

Yes. This twist on a classic Asian appetizer is deep fried, not steamed, as pot stickers are traditionally made. But they are equally as delicious! Things may look all peachy keen when you come to visit Pass the Sushi, but my kitchen is like everyone else's and some days, things just don't work out.

Why are potstickers so expensive? ›

The ingredients in a potsticker or dumpling are usually very affordable, but making them is a difficult and painstaking process, which is why they can be expensive in restaurants and stores. Making them yourself is probably cheaper, but it can take a long time to produce a large batch of potstickers.

What food is similar to perogies? ›

Pierogi, piroshky, pelmeni, and paczki (this is exhausting) are foods which are regularly confused with each other, what with the seemingly minor variations of dough and fillings seen among them.

Fillings vary but are usually a combination of minced meat and/or vegetables, plus aromatics for enhanced flavor.

What do Polish people eat with perogies? ›

Traditionally pierogi are served with simple toppings such as fried onions, lardons, melted butter, sour cream or pork rinds. But not everything needs to be savoury!
