Cheese and Potato Perogies are the most popular and well known type of perogy. Growing up in a Polish/Ukrainian family I have come to know my way around a perogy - I've made tens of thousands of them over the years, starting at a young age. I'm happy to share with you the knowledge passed down to me from the amazing cooks in my family, as well as a few tricks and tips I've learned along the way.
Perogies are an easy and fairly inexpensive meal. Add a salad and beans or kielbasa and you have a healthy, hearty and quick meal for those days when you don't have a lot of time to cook. The initial effort you put into making them can pay off for months to come as they will keep for well over a year in the freezer if properly bagged. I normally spend many days during the late Fall or early Winter making hundreds of perogies to last us until the next Fall.
I'm including both printable and YouTube versions of this recipe for you. My YouTube video will take you step by step through the whole process from start to finish.
I will be posting many more perogy recipes both here and on YouTube so check back often!
