Perogies Recipe
Pierogies with Onions and Bacon
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs plus an extra egg yolk only!
- 2 tbsp. butter melted
- 2 cups sour cream
- 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp. salt
For the filling:
- 4 potatoes peeled and cubed already
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese shredded
- Salt and pepper
(Extra Ingredients) For Serving:
- ½ to 1 cup sour cream
- 2-3 strips of bacon chopped
- ¼ onion chopped
Instructions
- To make the dough, mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Get another bowl and whisk the eggs, the extra egg yolk, butter, sour cream and oil together. Blend the wet ingredients until they are smoothly mixed then pour into the dry ingredients. Mix again until there are no apparent flour lumps. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it be for about 15-20 minutes.
- For the filling, boil the potatoes for around 15 minutes until they are tender. Drain the water and mash them together with the grated cheese while the potatoes are still hot. Sprinkle with a dash of pepper and salt to taste and set aside.
- For the arrangement, divide the dough into two same-sized balls. Knead and roll out (one ball at a time) with a rolling pin in a floured surface. Work it out until it’s thin enough, but not too thin to be torn easily. Get your round cookie cutters and cut the dough. Brush around the sides of the circle with water and spoon enough filling into the middle. Fold the circles in half and press edges with a fork to seal. Place the pierogies on a lightly greased cooking sheet and put into the fridge. Once they’re frozen, you can seal them into freezer storage bags or containers and stock again.
- For serving, boil the pierogies in a large pot with slightly salted water. Put the pierogies one piece at a time. You will know that they’re cooked once they pop right onto the surface. Get them with a slotted spoon and put into a dish, then set aside.
- Partially fry slices of bacon in a large skillet or frying pan over a medium flame. Add onions and once they look translucent, immediately add the pierogies into the skillet in a single layer. Turn pierogies from time to time until each side of the pierogies achieves the golden brown shade. Serve with sour cream and enjoy eating!

Tips for making Perogies
When making pierogies with onions and bacon, it’s best to keep the process simple. The dough for the pierogies should be lightly browned and rolled thin. Once the dough is finished, gently fry the perogies until they are crisp. You can also add a slice of cheese or some sour cream to make them more special. The best way to make pierogies with onions and bacon is to bake them until they’re golden brown.
To make the filling, combine the sour cream and butter with the flour. Mix in the eggs. Knead the dough for 3 minutes. Once it is ready, put the cooked pierogies on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake until they’re firm and golden brown. Once done, you can either serve them right away or freeze them for later. Once they’re baked, you can either eat them warm or keep them frozen in a freezer container.
Once the pierogies are cooked through, add the onions and bacon to the skillet. Sprinkle the top with chopped green onion, and then add the cheese and the butter. Once the perogies are ready, serve them immediately. Alternatively, you can serve them in a bowl or a casserole dish. This recipe is easy to make and doesn’t require any special equipment. In fact, you can use a wine bottle as a rolling pin.
