These delicious boiled then fried pillowy dumplings are delicious and pretty easy to eat. They’re especially good because they can be made in large batches ahead of time and frozen. I filled them with the usual onions and mashed potatoes but you can put anything in them, even sweet things.

Roll out your dough to 6mm thick and then cut 6" circles until all of the dough is used (dough may need to be re-rolled once or twice).
Put 1 tbsp of filling in the center of each circle then fold the circle in half and seal the edges with your fingers or the edge of a fork.
To cook: Place pierogis in a pot of boiling water, boiling until they float to the surface, about 5 minutes.
You can eat them plainly boiled with a drizzle of butter OR pan fry with butter for crisper texture.
