My (Ukrainian) grandmother used to make Vareniki (another name for
Pierogi). One of my favourite things ever.

I've had pierogis one time. They were filled with mashed potatoes and every-

of dough and potatoes. It must be an acquired taste.

You can always fill them with bits of dead animal if you prefer.

Most would be potato and cheese. Plain potato would be very bland, no
taste to acquire.

I may be lucky to have been exposed to them by people who knew how to
cook them. My first experience with them was in my late teens when my a
mother made them. His father was Polish and his mother was from
Newfoundland, and she was the one who cooked them. She had made some
with potato and cheese and some with sauerkraut. The sauerkraut batch
was much better than the cheese. They set a standard for me and over
the years I had good ones and not so good ones, but I don't think I ever
had any that were bad.

I ate them one time. They weren't very good, but everyone spoke so
highly of them, perhaps I expected too much.

Or something else interesting in my case. Dough filled with potato
sounds like support act filled with support act to me.

I think that is what happened with me. People went on and on about them and

Pierogi can be filled with damned near anything (and often are). Potato
would be my least favorite (starch on starch). Much better are cabbage,
kraut, mushroom, pork, cheese, or even prune (for dessert).

I agree with you, Janers. (I only called you that for Bruce's
sake).

Good old comfort food is named that for a reason. In the USA,
old country cooking and even "soul food" from slaves.

They made good tasty dishes from what they had to work with.
No need to present all fancy as long as the food is right.

Whenever I have dinner guests, I'll add a little eye-candy to
what I serve but not just for myself. My taste-buds are my
eyes in that case.

Meat or kraut or mushroom or fruit. I'm not a fan of potato-filled
pierogi, either. Seems strange to fill a carb with a carb.

In Polish, potato pierogi are called "Ruskie pierogi". That translates to
"Russian" pierogi. Given their history with Russia and the USSR, that
they are filled with potato seems quite fitting.

Frozen Pierogi from supermarts can be pretty bad. Mrs. T's, in
particular, I find to be pretty bad. But they have a lot of distribution
around the US. Other frozen brands we have here in the midwest are
Kasia's, and Alexandra's. Kasia's are decent, but Alexandra's are the
closest to made by humans, not made by machines. Both Kasia's and
Alexandra's are Chicago based, both started out as a deli product.

The only kind of 'pierog' we had while growing up were potato filled. Usually either filled with rosti potatoes, or potatoes paprikash mashed up a bit.

You're right:

Mrs.T's Pierogies, Loaded Baked Potato

"WATER, WHEAT FLOUR (NIACIN, IRON, THIAMINE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID),
POTATO FLAKES (POTATOES, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, SODIUM ACID
PYROPHOSPHATE, CITRIC ACID), SOYBEAN OIL, DEHYDRATED CHEESE (CHEDDAR
AND BLUE CHEESES [MILK, SALT, CULTURES, ENZYMES], MALTODEXTRIN,
NATURAL FLAVOR, DISODIUM PHOSPHATE), SALT, BACON (CURED WITH WATER,
SALT, SODIUM ERYTHORBATE, SODIUM NITRATE, SMOKE FLAVORING, SUGAR,
DEXTROSE, BROWN SUGAR, SODIUM PHOSPHATE, POTASSIUM CHLORIDE), ONION,
NATURAL FLAVORS (WHEY, BUTTER OIL, SOUR CREAM SOLIDS, SUGAR, SALT,
YEAST EXTRACT, GUAR GUM, ANNATTO AND TURMERIC [COLOR]), EGGS, SPICES,
CHIVES "

All this to fill a bit of dough with a bit of potato?

Not exactly. As usual, you've carelessly mistaken what you're looking up.

A loaded baked potato has potato, cheese, bacon, scallions and perhaps
sour cream. That's what these pierogi emulate.

Here's the (relatively) plain potato pierogi ingredient list:

Potato & Onion Pierogies. INGREDIENTS: Water, Enriched Flour (Wheat Flour, Niacin, Iron, Thiamine, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Dehydrated Potatoes (Potatoes, Mono & Diglycerides, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate, Citric Acid), Onions, Soybean Oil, Salt, Eggs, Spice.

Better but still bad.

I don't understand all American lingo. Loaded potato? I'd think that's
a rich potato.

I don't understand United Statesian Lingo! But I know what a "loaded potato" is, it's a potato baked then loaded with goodies! Could be considered a rich potato too!

Fry them up with some bacon and onion. Delicious.
