Comments on: Grandma’s Pirogies https://www.closetcooking.com/grandmas-pirogies/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

I love how this recipe keeps the filling simple with potatoes and cheese, just like a true homemade version should taste.

Sometimes she would use mushrooms.

When blueberries were in season, we would pick the fresh ones from the woods near home and she would fill some with blueberries and a bit of sugar.

I rarely make them because the dough can be such a chore, but I plan to swipe your recipe and maybe fill a light pizza dough with it for a sort of Polish calzone.

And have you heard about pierogi filled with fruits? My favourite ones are with blueberries which can be picked in the majority of forrests here, yummy!

We can get some great ones at the Future Bakery store on north Queen Street in Etobikoke.

I love everything about pierogies — I don’t think a person could ever eat too man pierogies in a single life-time.
