Pierogi are a beloved comfort food across the Mahoning Valley, thanks to the region’s Eastern European heritage. Soft dough is filled with potato and cheese, sauerkraut, or other fillings.
Boil the pierogi until they float, then pan fry them in butter with sliced onions until golden. Serve with sour cream for a classic Youngstown style meal.
Pin Tip
Freeze uncooked pierogi on a tray before bagging so they do not stick together.
