Pan Fried Pierogies

MMMM….Pierogies…Now – my grandmother was Polish. I here people say “Perogies” and I have to correct them – they are “pyadoggies”. I guess either way you say it – they sure are good – aren’t they.

Now – the best kind I have ever were my grandma’s homemade cheese ones smothered in butter, (no sauerkraut for me, please) . But – these are good too. I used to have them just boiled, but – never again, not since I went the route of cooking onions and pan frying them as well.

OK – First – get your handy dandy box of Pierogies.

Boil them per the directions on the package.

While they are boiling, get your onion.

Cut it.

Melt some butter

Fry up those onions till they are golden.

I then put mine in a separate dish. We tend to fight over who gets the most onions – so if you keep them separate – you can divide evenly.

Then put your pasta in the same dish. I always add more butter, spray or EVOO – what ever you want.

I am OCD like this – I have them all the same side down, so when I go to flip them, I know which one I have done, and what I haven’t…yes I know – you can tell by the color – but it just works for me.


Don’t they look good!!!!
Put on a plate, top with your onions, and you are good to go.
