Wonderful pierogies!!! I took some liberties with this recipe, instead of serving the pierogies with sauteed onions, I added the onions(minced & sauteed) to the potato mixture, so now when I pull some out of the freezer, I already have the onion flavor in the pierogies and can just fry them up and serve with some sour cream, yummy!! The other thing I changed, was I couldn't find dry curd cottage cheese, so used normal cottage cheese, but put it in a strainer and then added it to the potato mixture. I fried up 3 of them in butter for my meatless lunch and they were so good!!! Can't wait to make more and DS wants me to save some for him!! Thanks for sharing your Grandma's recipe. Made for 2013 Spring PAC event.

I was all excited to make these, then I started to get doubts about the filling - should I add more stuff? I resisted the urge and they were really good! Nice comforting, homey meal...Thanks!!
