If you're calling a Ukrainian potato and cheese filled dumpling a "pierogi" you're already not being particularly authentic. In Ukraine these would be referred to as vareniki. And in Poland, where they do have perogies, they wouldn't fill them with cheese and potatoes, except for Pierogi Ruskie, which is a bit like calling chow mein "Chinese Spaghetti".

I'm Polish and these pierogi are pretty americanized, (Specially the dough, never heard of butter or eggs in pierogi dough) but not as bad as I sometimes see online. I would still try them. Other few things I wanna point out are: 1. I've only seen sweet pierogi served with sour cream. I heard russians eat pelmeni with sour cream. 2. Never heard of serving pierogi with apple sauce 3. Traditional addition on top of savoury pierogi are either lightly fried onions or bacon bits. (Depends on a filling really) For onions my family fries them in lard. 4. I recommend adding some sauteed onions into ruskie pierogi filling, it will really improve the flavour 5. We usually pan fry pierogi to reheat the leftover ones, nothing wrong with frying fresh ones though. :)

Additionaly: the sauerkraut and mushrom ones are really popular- but mostly prepared for Christmas ( but with wild mushrooms, not portobello). The minced meat filling is fried but then once again put through a mince machine ( for a super smooth texture).

Outside of authentic restaurants you can use whatever you like, any personal sauce of choice, no one will judge. It is designed as "sauce vehicle" food after all, so anything goes. I mean all "historically correct" servings was pretty much based on a lack of other options. Sour cream and butter in East Europe was always presented as free leftover from home dairy production. Other options was mostly just sweet things, like honey or jam. I often use teriyaki or soy sauce for dipping, or frying them in Chinese Sichuan chili paste. I don't like sauerkraut, so I frying just mushrooms with herbs, and those ones do go nice with sour cream.

Meat filling for pierogi is usually made from stuff that was used for making a broth, eg. boiled beef, onions etc. and minced together. Throw some bacon with sauted onion on it and enjoy.

Like somebody already said, this is a very americanized version of pierogi. My grandma actually got offended when I asked her about the eggs and butter, though I know you can make it in different ways (because the "True Polish Cuisine" cookbook says so.) But you probably wouldn't get beef filling - rather veal or typicly pork/chicken from the broth.

Also salted cottage cheese is amazing. In my family mother always used to make potatoes for the filling a bit chunky, not silky smooth, as it makes a better bite.

In Poland we don't use apple sauce and pierogi with sour cream are usually served in restaurants. In home most ppl eat them boiled with melted butter and chopped, sauted onion or chopped bacon with is called "skwarki" This recipe is a little bit americanized the traditional dough is just flour salt and hot water and in ruskie pierogi there's no cream cheese, you need to use twaróg because it's completely different taste and texture + add chopped onion and black pepper. The meat should be leftovers from broth because it adds all the flavour.

Polish pierogi fanatic here, and I swear I've never seen applesauce served with pierogies, neither sweet nor savory. I can imagine it with some duck-filled pierogies if you're feeling fancy. The most common toppings would include sauteed onion and sour cream for the potato and cheese variety, sauteed onion (optionally also chives) for the ones with meat or sourkraut and mushrooms, and sour cream + sugar or just regular cream for any kind with a sweet filling.

Just for precision. Traditionally we do not use bluberries in pierogi. We use bilberry. (Vaccinium myrtillus). The taste is so, so different. If you want to taste them we also make a bilberry jam. ( yes I know that bilberry is a bluebery but we are taking kitchen now not botany)

When I am making a savory applesauce, I will often add a chili pepper (like a jalapeno) during cooking.. Just sliced in half and put in there, then fished out when I'm done cooking. It adds a bit of spice, but you can control how much, and the added kick is really pleasant with a lot of meat dishes.

@@dotheflip4706 I have never eaten them with sour cream in the 20 years of my life and thousands of them consumed... But you can just swap the sour cream for a cream cheese, recommended!

My polish grandmother makes these all the time. Usually she makes potatoes & cheese, sweet cheese, sauerkraut, and more recently, sauerkraut & kielbasa. Although we've never had them with applesauce or sour cream. If you wanna keep with the polish basics, I'll suggest galumpkis. I've never been a fan of them myself but it's an interesting dish nonetheless

OK ok ok ok, as Polish person i approve But these are either some super fancy pierogi or this recepie was addapted when traveled abroad. I HAVE never seen such fillings. ALSO. hear me out here - meat filling is made from meat that was used to make broth, minced really well with onion and othere veggies almost to paste level. YOU HAVE TO TRY THOSE BABISH

Adding/not adding eggs to your pierogi dough has divided many families in Poland [*] Also, for your butter/water mix => sub water for milk ;) AlsoAlso, Poles sometimes put fruit in our pierogi (blueberries and strawberries, served with sweetened cream).

In Poland we don't usually serve pierogi with any kind of sauce (Though I know one restuarant where they do) But from what I've seen on internet it's quite popular way to eat pierogi abroad.

@@totebag132 There are some regional differences but I don't think they are very significant, I think the fillings are the part of pierogi that may be influenced by the region. I was just pointing out that in Poland eating pierogi with sauce is just uncommon and for some polish folks it may be even strange it, and please don't think that I'm saying that pierogi with sauce are worse because they are not. I should add that we do use sourcream with sweet pierogi (pierogi with strawberry filling etc) as a some sort of sauce. :)

Pieróg - Singular. Pierogi - plural. I love them straight from water, coated with melted butter and golden fried onion. Greetings from Poland.

I don't think that is the traditional pierogi dough, but that's actually great - traditional Polish pierogi dough is NOTORIOUSLY hard to work with and tricky, requiring hot water hydration and specific type of flour, so I love that there is an easier alternative. I might actually be able to make pierogi now!

What a coincidence. I wanted to make pierogi the other night, but I didn't have the stuff for it. Followed his empanada recipe instead. °°

My favorite filling that ive made consists of ground venison, raspberry jam, shallot, and reconstituted porcinis. Absolutely phenominal

I'm a three-and-a-half hour drive from home and the only pierogi I can get are Mrs. T's. Thanks Babish.

great choice,.Love pierogi, real comfort food to me, Never heard of pierogi with apple sauce tho... Frying is quite optional as well, my family never did It and the ones I've tried across Poland were sometimes just heated In a pan, not crisp at all.

The unnecessary S . . .🤦‍♀ One of my favorite foods from childhood. Thanks for sharing with the world.

Babish finally made Pierogi, my Polish soul od happy ^^ And the apple sauce on Pierogi is an American invention

I love apple sauce + sour cream as accompaniments to latkes. I just do the sour cream for pierogi, but it is truly essential.

Glad to see you back at it in 2023!

To all the Polish folk that have never heard of having pierogi with apple sauce, it's very common in Pennsylvania, kind of a staple here. Not sure if it originated here, but in Pittsburgh it's super common and a lot of the locals will act as if the pierogi was invented here. Here pierogis always come with cooked onion and/or applesauce.

Happy New Year Babby! I'm definitely feeling the need for some Botched by Babish. I don't care if you mess up a recipe just to have a Botched on it the next week, I just want me some Botched!

I like the smooth jazz in the background so much more than any other music

Traditionally the meat for pierogoes is boiled nor fried. Nevertheless, glad to see some Polish accent in your show. Maybe try making bigos next

pork rinds more often than bacon

Pierogi with apple sauce is a new one for me too. Never heard that. We typically sauté some bacons and onions and top them with that and serve with sour cream. As a family that always has them with Thanksgiving dinner, cranberry sauce has been known to make its way on top of them as well, so the apple sauce isn't that strange an idea for me. It's just not one I'd heard before.

By far my favorite Eastern European comfort food… finally done properly forked and kneaded

Thank you for finally covering Polish dishes!

You never cease to amaze! The idea idea of pierogi with apple sauce 😳

I love pierogis, thank you so much for sharing. I think Eastern European food is often over looked.

I come from a long line of Slavic pierogi makers... My aunt (RIP) always used the potato water in the dough. She claimed it made the dough softer.

HAHAHA really appreciate that you made pierogi! Honestly every person has different recipe, but it's the first time I saw anyone eating them with sour cream and apple sauce! It's really wierd honestly! I am a Polish person and I'm also learning in a cooking school, so yeaaah The most common recipe for pierogi dough is only boiling hot water and dough, maybe egg too. And Ruskie Pierogi are made with cottage cheese, potatos, sautéed onions salt and pepper!

Uwielbiam Pierogi. Bardzo dobrze wyglądają. Tylko troszkę za dużo Ameryka-style 😅

I learned how to make pierogi's from my Slovak great grandmother - I am officially the pierogi maker in my family for Christmas (I make anywhere from 22-45 for Christmas ) But it makes me happy to see these being hand made 😊

What? Everyone knows applesauce is the perfect traditional topping for pierogi, just like soy sauce is the perfect traditional topping for spaghetti.

I’ve had them filled with wild blueberries. I also like the potato cheese ones boiled and then fried in butter and onions.

This is a GREAT video!! You made it so easy to understand, while being quick! I was so sad that I didn't get any while I was in Cleveland, but now I can make them myself!! ❤ Thank you so much!

Been waiting for this episode for a long time haha

I don´t know why every non-polish recipe I see inmediatelly fries pierogi after cooking them. In my family You ate them cooked and only fry the leftover ones the next day. Cooked ones are really tasty!

In my family, we almost never make the meat filling from sautéed ground beef. Pierogi were always a byproduct of making beef broth (rosół). Meat from ossobuco was ground after cooking. And the rest was prepared the same way, but the fact that it's meat from a soup, changes the flavor DRASTICALLY. I highly recommend trying it when you do a beef broth. Can be also done with chicken meat if you make chicken soup and have leftover meat.

In my family we don't really add an egg to the dough (also I've never heard about it), it's just water, flour, oil and salt, but maybe in every home it's different 😅 Also, pierogi with meat are made of beef/chicken that has been used in broth- to that it's great to add sauted onions and veggies from the soup. I've never heard and tried pierogi with apples, usually the sweet version is made with some strawberries or berries with sour cream and sugar on top, but I'm curious about the ones with apples 😄

Surely this is a setup for a Botched by Babish

The best pierogi filling is borówki (ive never seen them outside the us but I think they're just wild mountain blueberries). It is served as a desert with sour cream and optionally sugar.

I love pierogi's. My grandma makes them every Christmas

Oh yes, we love you now more than ever. One thing is that "pierogi" are already plural so word "pierogies" do not exist. Singular is just "pieróg" Have a nice day!
