Pierogi

This is my great grandmother’s pierogi recipe. My great grandma made it when she was still alive. My family never uses this recipe, but if anyone was to make it, it’d be my mom (because it’s her grandma’s recipe). Pierogies are like dumplings, they’re filled with mashed potatoes and have lots of cheese in them.I chose this recipe because it’s the oldest thing I could find and it means a lot to me and my mom. I have pierogi for dinner almost every night. Not only is it really good, but it’s almost all I have left of my Polish culture.If I could talk to my great grandma today, I’d ask her how she came up with the recipe. I’ve always wondered how people come up with food recipes, they must be really good with flavors and ingredients. Anyways, pierogi is really a huge part of my life and culture, whether I use that recipe or not.
