Pierogies are Polish dumplings usually made from unleavened bread dough and stuffed with a filling typically made from potatoes, but it doesn't stop there. There's no limit to the both sweet and savory fillings that can be stuffed inside these hearty dumplings. Though they can be boiled, pan frying is the best way to release and intensify their flavors.
