This was SO GOOD. Though I used cheddar cheese and we decided it tasted kind of funny. Next time I'll try American. I didn't follow the directions exactly... I layered the onions on top of the potatos and then baked the whole thing until the cheese melted. I used Idaho Red instant potatoes. -- UPDATE: Made this again using American cheese and it was much better than Cheddar. This time I added ground turkey seasoned with Poultry Grill and Broil seasoning, and cooked the onions with the turkey. I only use a couple tablespoons of butter and pour it on top.Reply

Delicious! I grew up in Pennsylvania and loved pierogis but now live in Illinois where they don't sell them...this was a great substitution!! I cut the recipe in half (more or less - I didn't exactly measure all the ingredients) and put it in a 8x8 dish. To use up noodles I had, I used half lasagna noodles and half egg noodles (lasagna noodles on the bottom, egg on the top). I used one pouch of betty crocker mashed potatoes, which I think was more than the recipe called for - I think it could have used even more potato personally. However, I found the onion to be a little much (I used one medium onion) and the butter to be WAY too much, which I did measure to be exactly half. I would recommend using less to cut down on grease. I also used shredded sharp cheddar. Thanks for a great recipe!Reply
