This is a great side dish for pork or chicken main dishes. This can also be a great idea for an appetizer. This was a recipe that I learned from a friend in high school.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup chopped onion
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 6 frozen pierogies, thawed
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook and stir until the onion has begun to soften, about 1 minute. Add the pierogies, and cook until slightly browned on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Sprinkle with dried parsley to serve.

    7.1.18 This made a really good quick and easy side dish served last night with Crumbed Chicken Tenderloins (Air Fried) and Summer Corn Salad. I did put the frozen pierogies in a bowl of hot water to soften before frying and did add some diced bacon to the onions and garlic.

    I think pierogies are bland.

    This is basically how I usually make my pierogies. I always make them to taste. So I decided to try this with exact amounts. I doubled the recipes and made 12 pierogies and used 1/2 whipped butter and 1/2 lite margarine to lighten it up. The best unintended part of the recipe was I made - Read more ...

    This is pretty much just how I make my pierogies, except I make more than six, and, therefore use more butter and onions and such. I do have to admit, 9 times out of 10, I do boil them slightly first (just the way we always did it), but if I'm in a hurry, or - Read more ...
