Pierogies are a filling and comforting meal, great for cold winter evenings.
They can also be customized with different fillings or toppings.
Making pierogies can be time-consuming, so it’s best to plan ahead.
They are also high in carbohydrates and not recommended for those on a low-carb diet.
Potato pierogies are a good source of potassium and fiber, and can be made with low-fat cottage cheese instead of mashed potatoes for a lower calorie option.
