My grandmother spoke Bohemian, and had a Polish speaking neighbor. I got up with her around 3:30am. I walked across the street at 4am, to get two dozen eggs from her Polish neighbor. She made potato dumplings ahead of time, eggs, and bacon with the rind, when people woke up. She always cooked for 15 people. Six dozen kolaches, apple streusel, chocolate pie, poppy seed cake. I wasn't allowed to bake, but she gave me pie crust scraps to bake with cinnamon sugar. Since it was a wood stove, she put my creations in the stove, and took them out. With only a first grade education, she knew her recipes by heart. Will try this recipe. No one could ever cook like my grandmother. Will see if my granddaughter's would like to help. Your gentle souls are comforting.

Martha is such a Good daughter. You can tell that she truly loves and respects her Mom.

I could watch Martha’s mom all day long, she’s such a treasure.

It is so good to be Polish.

Anyone who makes homemade pierogi is an all star! Martha is certainly that and more. So is her Mom. ❤

I really enjoyed this video. I came from Poland 25 years ago and this is how we make the pierogi to this day "the old fashioned way" LOL :-)

I love watching Martha and her mom cook together. Such a beautiful relationship!

Cutest when Martha's mother spoke Polish by the end! True Polish pierogi recipe!

I love her Mom, she's such a good teacher.

I love these videos of Martha and her lovely mom. She (Big Martha) reminds me so much of my dear grandmother. I wish we had had this technology before she passed away so I could have recorded her cooking and passing on family stories and memories. These are moments that are always to be treasured.

I just love the episodes with both mother and daughter and the humor they share.

I'm really touched by the culinary heritage transmission in this video. Culinary memory transport us to our origins but also to the future generations. Thank you Martha and big Martha, you got me back to Poznan, Pl.

I recommend adding some fried onion into the filling. You need to chop it and sweat it over medium heat until it's translucent but still crunchy. This is how pierogi were made by my grandmother. ;-)

I love how Martha's mom just *knows* how much of each ingredient is needed and how Martha has to keep saying how much of each one they are using, for the benefit of the viewer, of course (two heaping spoons of this, one cup of that...). I cannot cook anything without measuring everything very carefully!

My mother never measured anything. She tried to write down the recipe for me. She said to use a 1/4 cup of water with FIVE cups of flour. So I beat the eggs, add the quarter cup of water, whisk that, and pour it into the flour, and my daughter and I look at other like, WHAAAAT? This was back in 1988, no internet. It took me about 5 years to finally get the correct quantities.

I had no idea she was Polish! I love it!

This is my favorite Martha Stewart video. It brings back memories of me learning to make pierogies with my Mom Margaret, who was of Hungarian descent, and loved potato pierogies, too. I remember visiting my Polish grandmother Victoria and my Aunt Helen Gaito told me that she used Velveeta in her potato mixture for the pierogies. My Dad Joseph loved pierogies, too. I sent the video to my sister Diane Pyryt and she liked the video, also. Thank you for re-teaching us how to make potato pierogies. 😊

I luv how martha defers to her mom. So nice! You can tell they had a great relationship

Oh, Martha! You and your mother brought a tear to my eye while in the kitchen together - making Pierogi and stuffed cabbage together. How wonderful you two got along. Shameful my mother was so uptight and a little bitchy. A good cook she was, made a wonderful Italian meal a glorious marinara (it's not that difficult) nice roast beef dinners, wonderful fried chicken. But she would be kinda mean in the kitchen, like she didn't want me around. Always a little critical, finding fault, but I wanted to learn. I guess it was her personality. I almost felt guilty sitting down to eat because I didn't help with anything......but I wanted to. She didn't balk though when I did the dishes.....50 years ago is a long time to still hold onto feelings - wish I could let it go. I'm jealous of you and your wonderful mother and of my girlfriend who says 'my mom and me are best friends' .... wonder what that feels like? Love ya, Martha, I watch you all the time, and thank you for everything you've taught me. ♡

So admirable you with your mother kitchen in cooking. You're such a beautiful person Martha Stewart we all love you and hope you the best.

I used to help my Grandma make pierogis when I was a kids. I have since tough my kids how to make then the old way. “You never measure the flour, it’s how It feels in your hands” When she brought out the old aluminum cups I cried! My grandma had and used the same cups to cut the dough. Martha Sr, you are the best! I would add Farmers cheese is the “traditional” cheese to add to the potatoes or all cheese filling. But any pierogi made is a good thing to eat.

My MOM added thinly sliced sauted onion to her potato filling...then after boiling the pierogi and draining them she sauted them in butter to give them them a slight crispness and golden color. She also sauted onion in butter and dressed the pierogi with this before serving. Smachnego!!

Warmed my heart to see you cooking with your mother! Just beautiful! ❤

This is so so sweet, Love Love this video, thank you Martha for sharing this wonderful recipe with your mama.

I am a HUGE fan of Martha Stewart, but this is the first time I have seen her mother cook! I have to say that I am now also a great fan of Martha’s mom! I can see where Martha got her love of cooking! I LOVE the way this Pierogi recipe sounds! I’m gonna have to give ‘em a try! THANKS, Martha and Mom! I love you both!

This video never gets old. I come back to watch this one several times a year ❤

Martha's mother expertly kneads that dough. Love Perogis. I will try this lovely recipe. Thank you both!

These are my favorite. I love Martha's mother.

It's good to see the "Mom", she's elegant and lovely too!

I like these Big Martha videos because I'm learning some old world cuisine. I see that Polish recipes always use sour cream in some fashion. Very interesting

Looks good . what joy it brings too see Martha, with her Mother cooking .

I have to be careful when I watch Martha and Big Martha cooking... I always end up hungry!

I always enjoyed watching you and your mom, what great videos for you to look back and watch. Reminds me of when I get the pleasure to cook with my own mom.

Great sharing ! Thank you very much.

Cherish and spend as much time as possible with your mom because when they leave this earth you will feel as though you have not spent enough time with her. It's very easy for life to get in the way. Try as hard as you can to not let this happen!!!

Oh yum! I was fortunate to have a best friend who was Polish so I got to experience these lovely pockets of warmth and sustenance.....🙏 I am going to make some now.

I love her mother’s recipe, they are really the best!!

Wow that was so sweet to watch Martha cooking with her mother. I could only imagine what her Pierogis tasted like.

Her mom is a good teacher also and Martha learned well. Love these videos and new sub and now binge watching.

Absolutely amazing and I love ❤️ Martha Stewart and I have learned so much from her! God bless you and keep you always 🙏

I remember when I was little watching my grandma teaching my mom how to make pierogis as my dad loved them (and so do I!).

Recall seeing this when it first aired. Wonderful to see it again.

Carbs! I love it!

I recall making these with my grandmother. As kids, we always ate them at her house. As young adults, we got together and meticulously measured and documented her recipe and process so we could duplicate them with our own families. She wasn't happy about it, as we would interrupt her to grab that handful of ingredient and measure it, but in the end we were able to make our own. She declared them, "not bad." We were ecstatic.

How delightful Martha

Something special that Martha senior.Great tutorial

These are my favourite video's I love watching Martha and her mom cook together it's soo nice they work well together bless Possum

I have never attempted anything like that. That’s a lot of work, bless ya

I make pierogis from scratch for Easter Sunday every year. Although I am not Polish (Cuban who lives in Cleveland 😉) absolutely love them. I sauté them in butter and onions. Delicious!!!

Good to see Martha and mom again. Martha never ages.

I love your Mother.. what a treasure.

Pierogi is actually a plural form of "pieróg".. anyways, that's also one of my favorite Polish dishes. I see Martha appreciates her Polish roots.

I am SO enjoying this in 2019🙌🏾🥰

MARTHA you are the new way I love what your mom brings to the table, but history brings a great repeat

Your mom is adorable.. 🥰😍

Awww i LO💖E watching her n her mom, no matter how old u get, around ur mom or dad u still become thier lil baby🤗💞

My great aunt has taught me how to make the most delicious Golumbki but she always bought her pierogi from a local Polish deli. I'm going to make these for Christmas Eve too. Looks easy but labor-intensive. I'm in !

Martha is polish oh my God.... So cute

Ain't nobody like Mom. 😊

Those old tin cups are AWESOME! I have a margarita glass I use every Christmas. That's my tool. I remember watching my grandmother and aunts making them "by the hundreds" with their gnarly arthritic hands -- . Fantastic work but worth it every year.

Nobody makes them that small in my family. My mother used to cut hers out with a knife, no cup. She actually drew one on a sheet of paper, cut it out, and folded it to give me a pattern when she wrote out the recipe. I finally found a five inch device that not only cuts them, but also folds and seals them.

Love this !

These are my new favorites from Martha. I'm sure I saw them in the past, but it was so long ago I completely forgot.

Big Martha was wonderful! Trust me, her recipe is the best! I ditched my Ukrainian Baba's recipe and now make this one. I think it is the sour cream that makes a difference. Big Martha's dough is very easy to work with!

Thank you! Super 👍😃❤️

This is my favorite my Mom used to make. I finally made them for the first time this past fall and twice since. Now I want to try your recipe/way of doing them! I also like to chop onion and prefry it, give them great flavor, then cook then and again fry in a pan with onions... yummy
