• Boil: Place 1 dozen pierogies in a pot of rapidly boiling, salted water (6 quarts for refrigerated pierogies, 8 quarts for frozen pierogies). When they rise to the surface, flat side up, they are done. Drain and serve with sauteed onions or sour cream.

   

• Pan Fry: Sauté pierogies in butter, margarine, or olive oil until heated through-about 10 minutes. If you like, you can brown them on each side. Serve them with your favorite topping (butter/onion sauce, sour cream, salsa, marinara or cheese).

   

• Bake: Preheat oven to 325°F. Sauté onions in butter. Place pierogies in a baking dish and ladle onions and butter over them. Cover and put in the oven for 30 – 45 minutes, depending on the number of pierogies.
