Japanese here. I’ve never been to Poland and never ever eaten this. But I’m gonna make this for my family. Thanks for amazing video!
I have been to poland and tried it there. It’s very delicious . you can fill it with meat or cheese.
Something tells me that if you can make gyoza you will find making pierogi much easier than many others will. Try filling half with caramelised cabbage, finely chopped mushrooms and bacon then pour some nutty butter on top and maybe even a little dob of sour cream. When Japan lifts travel restrictions, go to Poland-- the Yen has a great exchange rate! I go to Japan every year and Poland is beautiful too so I hope you'll get to go next year. Have fun! :)
I know it's bad but,we fry them in a pan of butter and salt...lol!!! Life is to short,moderation is my moto
@@chrismus7180 Not bad at all! Fried leftover pierogi are the best.
@@nnooooooooooob oh I warm them in butter fresh,not left overs
"clean up while you're cooking" - my Polish grandmother taught me that.
Looks great!
That’s what I do....clean up as cooking!
I always clean up as I go!!!! I never have a mound of mess or dishes to the back to!!!!! It takes all enjoyment out of what you are doing and making.
@@patbootie9552 well said! 👏👏👏💗 my girls ADORE PEROGIES, (among other things that take a deal of preparation l) so we make a deal...I'll make them if you don your aprons and we'll ALL tidy as I go..works a charm, and keeps *me* from souring on baking. "Whatever" it was they wanted😁😎💞🤷♀️THEY tell me it keeps me from getting "cranky", which, since they're busy doing things I can keep an eye on and not just wandering unerfoot, popping up asking this or that(usually:"are they done yet can I try one?🤦♀️", from surprising places...I'm sure it DOES help keep my *cranky* levels lower.🤯🤷♀️ especially when "pappa" dissapears right as the first element knob is turned to "on". Which he did when that eldest busy bee of ours was just 15 months old and was thirsty...pulled a *freshly poured*near boiling cup of tea off a surface he'd just set it on, barely within her reach. She managed to pull it over to try to drink, which tipped it over her face and shoulders, giving her 2nd degree burns. Landing her in hospital where she contracted a secondary infection(thankfully not in those wounds!) But rather of a gastrointestinal nature, which had her returning to hospital within hours of her initial release and kept there, *in isolation!* for a further 2 weeks. I can understand why, after all, they knew she'd picked the bug up from the crib given to her *immediately* after a wee boy was removed for airlifting to a larger hospital, for the same infection. There hadn't been time to thoroughly sanitize that stainless steel crub, especially for a burn patient whose immune system will already be compromised, if not overwhelmed! So she was stuck in an isolation room for another month. At 15 months(16 by then) it was incredibly traumatizing for her, she came home a changed little girl. Whereas previously, if she woke during the night, she'd roll out of her own bed and toddle down the hall to ours, just crawl right in and snuggle up safely. Now, she'd roll out of her bed, get about halfway to us, then need to be retrieved or coaxed down the remainder of the hall. Only another 4 or 5 feet, but it was heartbreaking to hear this little girl terrified about what to do or where to go. Took her about 8 months, but she did, eventually bounce back to her normal self. We're just appalled that it took HER getting hurt like that to REALLY wake up to how we were doing things and how much *we* needed to improve! Individually and as a team. Thankfully that poor toddler has recovered entirely with no scarring. Our greatest concern *at the time* was whether she'd managed to blink in time...that her eyelids took the brunt of the heat and not the direct surface of one cornea. Only after that was relieved did we begin to be concerned about the possibility of scarring, and where. Face, shoulders...?? Luckily neither,
My Irish grandmother taught me that, too. Although, she finished her advice with "Just in case the reverend comes a calling". ;)
I have never saw so many Polish people in a comment section. As a 6th generation american polish who talks way to much about Poland I am proud that Pierogi has a million views
From my childhood I remember "pierogi party", when several grandmas got together, always on Fridays, and made pierogi for their families for dinner. There was a division of labor, and sharing gossip, and coffee and tea - and in couple of hours they could make hundreds of pierogi. The speed they were putting them together with was amazing. Direct result of years, no - decades of pierogi making. Some ladies could make the edges of pierogi looking very ornamental, and the speed was the same - astonishing. I miss that camaraderie of women. I was just a kid, so I mainly was watching, and from time to time they let me "practice", and I usually got the dough, the "farsz", and a lot of flour all over myself. My year round favorite were "pierogi ruskie", and in the summertime - pierogi with cherries. Those were served with sweet cream and butter.
That is a great story and I am glad for you that you were involved.
Exactly, since there was always a crowd at the dinner table, one needed an army of hands to make them
just like manti in Turkey, great comment :)
I’m an instant fan after watching him clean as he cooked
He served his wife first and made her smile.
My Polish grandparents used cottage cheese. They also made prune filled pierogi- delicious !
I love it when I hear someone say pierogi right it gives me comfort
Same. And for me, gnocchi. Holy crow do people pronounce that incorrectly *facepalm*
As opposed to "puR-oh-GEEZZZ" 🤣🤦♂️
I loved how he served his wife first. What a class act 👏
"In a few minutes, after I have my beer, we'll make dough."
Most Polish thing ever!
Wrong its Vodka
It is Polish ! This guy do it goood, i am from Poland, do it in style like grandmather do it
Sorry for my English
❤
My girlfriend is Polish and I've memorized this video so today I can make her Pierogi like she used to have in Poland. I think she'll like them, and this will be my first time working with flour; as in kneading my own!
Best of luck !!
@ThePolishChef They came out great! I'm in the states so other pierogi I've tried have been frozen or bought. Home made was so much better. We gifted the rest to our friends and family. Didn't realize how many thus recipe would make. Thank you again, Polish Chef I will not question you.
Great !! I don't mind answering questions.
Im a londoner. Had a polish neighbour who taught me how to make "perogi" when my kids were young. It became a family favourite and I've put all sorts in them...ham and cheese, bacon, onions, corned beef, spam, potato spinach...i dont even know where the polish recipe is in what i make any more, so its nice to see the real thing again.Its really great if you are skint and trying to stretch money. Freeze em, fry em, stick them under a grill, they are cheap and versatile.
What a wonderful memory
Those look wonderful!! My fiancée just passed in December. He was polish. He was supposed to teach me how to make these. We didn’t get around to it. I almost cried watching but I’m going to make these in his memory. Thank you so much. I’m a new subscriber today. I’ll be watching your videos. Thanks again ❤️
Sounds great!
Hi Leigh, I'm sorry to read of that. But you got me thinking: could you go to Poland as a sort of pilgrimage? Or would it be too sad? I'd like to imagine you in an airbnb having an adventure and perfecting pierogi in your Polish kitchen on holiday. I hope you're happy and well. :)
CiganyWeaver and her periwinklebluespacecaravan thanks! Yes that would be fun! Maybe when COVID is over!! ❤️🙏
So sorry to hear this :( he is definitely smiling from heaven ❤️🙏
A tragically underrated food. I love them. Thank you for this.
OMG! I am so glad to have have found this channel. My grandmother was Polish but died before I was born. My Ciocia Annella made pierogi, latkes & Gołąbki all the time. My favorite was Gołąbki; it was always my birthday meal request. I now make them & latkes for my family but I have never tried making pierogi. I can't wait. New subscriber. Many thanks!
Good luck and thanks.
my great grandpa passed away before i learned any polish or any traditional food, this is so nice and is teaching me how to make these foods for my friends.
Oh Man, I am SO glad I found this video! My family LOVES Pierogi! My wife's Grandmother on her Father's side was a Polish immigrant. My Mother-in-Law, whose parents were Italian immigrants, used to make Pierogi from time to time to keep her husband's culture alive in their house. My wife and I buy it at the market but we've never known how to make it ourselves. Now, I'm going to give it a try!
For all non-polish people. Pierogi is already plural. There is no need to give them -es at the end. There is one pieróg (or pierożek) and two pierogi.
but in english we add "s" so we follow our own rules when we speak. why would we change the pluralization of every word based on its original root language? that would make no sense
I did not know that - thanks for the linguistics tip! :)
Respecting word origin is fun and it's a chance to learn something new.
@@indianturdeau9117 not exactly applicable to everything, we say shrimp not shrimps
@@indianturdeau9117 it does make sense, the root of the word is how we know how to pluralize it. Like cactus and cacti.
💖
As soon as he said 'always clean up while you're cooking', i grabbed the mouse and subscribed. I'm in.
I was a firefighter in greenpoint brooklyn and loved Polish people and their food. excellent video YUM
Just found your channel and subbed straight away. My lady is Polish, I want to start making her classic Polish food. This seems like the perfect channel for me
Me too.
That's the best Part of the Internet! A Polish Chef, living in the US, using an international video-platform to show his delicate recipe, everyone can watch... I LOVE IT! (Sub. CHECK, Clock CHECK!)
Greetings from Germany 🧡🧡🧡
War klar dass so ein Gutmenschentum mal wieder von nem Deutschen kommt. Hast ja noch nicht genug Flüchtlinge in deinem Land 🤣 Multikulti ist ja so toll hahaha
It's amazing how you're speaking perfect American English but the second you throw in there any Polish word it's clear from the pronounciation that's your first language. Also, pierogi forever
Wow, thank you!
A neighbor of polish descent intro'd me to pierogis decades ago when they invited me to help make their winter 'stash'. OMG, I was in heaven, they were so delicious. They used cheddar instead of ricotta (I think) but they served them just like you did. I've been a fan ever since! Thank you!
His character is 100% no bs authentic! Love it!
Thank you! I was adopted from Poland as a baby, and have been dying to learn about my culture. I can’t wait to make these today
I hope our video was helpful.
I love pierogies.
My grandmother was from Suwalki Poland and three generations later the family still eats and cook these👍🏻… it is a Christmas tradition for us. But my favorite ones are the mushroom and sauerkraut pierogies.
Sauerkraut and mushroom pierogi are my favorite as well. You have a nice Christmas tradition.
My as well.I love it.
You and wife explain everything with some humor! I love Polish food. 😋 Thanks
Never met a polish person who is not generous and very kind indeed. Beautiful people.
Add resilient, intelligent, and a joy to be with
You are being kind.
That's not what my wife says about me.
Skeetermake this recipe the ones u buy at store are CRAP!
Ha!
I love Pierogi. Czech background. My Mama made them, her mother, and great gandma from Prague made the best ones. EXACTLY the way you make them. Saute in butter and onions and serve with sour ceam or apple sauce. I'm 73 now and they are all gone. I'll have to make my own . Such wonderful memories. You are a beautiful couple. Thank You.
Keep your promise. Thanks.
I made 7 lbs potatoes for pierogis this year and 20ilbs sour kraut. I dont have time to make those little circles! We roll our dough, cut in squares and load em up!! Yummy!!
Awe, thanks for showing me how to make Pierogi. Just met a Polish man living in the US, and wanted to show my welcoming. I think and know I can do this.
Sounds great!
IDK why I was recommended a 2 year old video on Pierogi, but thank you none the less.
It's really amazing how she can close the dough over that huge ball of filling. I know I'd end up ripping the dough.
Jerry N. that is what I thought. In fact I said it aloud...and I live alone...
Practice!
Jerry when you try this recipe and succeed in not ripping the dough, open your window and scream out your great happiness. Your neighbours will not be annoyed, they'll all quietly nod and smile. Everybody will feel you.
@@danushaforknneer2749 I agree. You will get better after you pinch a dozen. My Mom could make 120 pierogi
No problem. When I did it the first time mine looked like a crescent 🌙 moon instead of a half moon.
I had pierogi for lunch today fried and topped with bacon and onion with sour cream on the side. It was delicious.
Ok, I just made these. They came out perfectly! The video was clear and direct. I did not question anything because, you are "The Polish Chef!" Thank you for taking the time to post.
Wonderful!
How many did you get with these 4 cups of flour recipe?
@@Alexandra2679 I got 34.
My grandmother made perogies my whole life until she passed, I'm upset because I didn't pay enough attention to making the dough which I think is more intimidating than difficult. She always made half potato/cheese and half sauerkraut (which I never see anyone make) and we cooked them the same way as the video except we put the onions in the same pan. And we ate them of course with dinner (always with Kapusta) but anytime was proper... It's my goal to rediscover how to make these homemade!! Thanks for sharing I will check out the rest of your videos to see how much of my childhood I can remember!
That's the way my mom made them she did not live in Poland but she spoke fluent polish ,My Grandmother and Grandfather came from Poland after Ww2 My grandfather Was in Poland Fighting against the Nazi's Then came to the US and opened up a butcher shop & Market ..Thank you For this video it brings back a lot of Memories from my childhood .....God bless
I made pierogis with my mother and grandmother at Christmas time. It was such a fun tradition, but we got lazy and would buy store bought since they are so much work. I feel very inspired to bring this tradition back with my own kids. Thank you for the video. I love mine with fried onions and sour cream as well. So hungry now!
But satisfaction and taste when you make it yourself is much better. I made pierogi with meat and they're better than anything than bought from store
THANK YOU for this. I'm 50 years old and never made pierogi before - that was something my grandmother and I did together, but I never made on my own. Making this recipe yesterday brought back so many great memories. I can't thank you enough!
You are so welcome!
🤣. “You should not question me- I am the Polish Chef.” I think I am going to make a sign like that for my kitchen!
I think you should . ( LOL )
I grew up eating peroghi. My granny was from Ukraine. These look just like hers. She put cottage cheese in them. We used to eat them freshly boiled and the next day we woul fry the leftovers in butter......for breakfast.
Just remember that you don't use regular cottage cheese in them. You have to use dry cottage cheese sometimes called Farmer's cheese. Regular grocery store cottage cheese has milk in it and you're 'rogi's will be watery mess. It can be hard to find. The dairy just needs to pack some containers with cottage cheese before they add the milk to it. You use 1 container of dry cottage cheese, mix in 1 beaten egg, 1 tsp. of salt and you've got a fantastic filling.
My Great Grandparents had a family recipe for Pierogi’s. Passed it on to my Grandfather and then to my Father. My Father perfected the recipe and made it fool proof. Now I am the first of my generation in the family to learn to make them. Definitely love my family traditions!
I’m an Irish girl who married a Slovak. I embraced the cooking that his grandmother so beautifully made. The first time I made pierogi was from looking at the Polish Chef. They came out great! I gave this Irish girl a pat on the back. BTW I never even heard of pierogi till I met my husband!
GREAT recipe! My 12 year old son totally embraces his polish heritage. He found your video, wrote down the ingredients and asked if we could make them. We shopped for the ingredients then came home and spent our sunday making pierogi. My polish Grandma was surely looking down from heaven smiling :) The memories we made together today were just as great as the delish pierogi. My daughter said they were the best she's ever had! We will be keeping your recipe in our family and look forward to making them again. We even played polka's while we made them. And, I cleaned as we went along too ;) Thank you!!
toria cade i love your post.
Same I am polish I might make this recipe idk yet
Wonderful and very touching story thanks for sharing!
My great Grandma and Grandpa were from Poland. Immigrated to America at the turn of the 20th century. She used to make pierogis and halupki. They were always a part of our family holiday meals. I learned to make them from her and since having my own children, I've continued the tradition.
They have long since passed away but every time I make them, it takes me back to those cherished days. I can still hear their accent.
Glad you are still making them.
"Loved by all, made by few!" Chef, your comments throughout the video made me laugh. I'll never question the Polish chef. I loved watching the techniques of your cooking especially when the "inspector" arrived to check your work. HA! Susan's instruction's on how to seal the pierogi after filling them was very helpful. If possible, could you please tell us how to purchase the stolnica and the absolutely beautiful serving dish that you were using. Thank you so much.
Thanks. Polish serving dish was a gift. Stolnica was made by the Polish Chef not the "inspector".
You remind me of my family from Polska. I'm first generation in America and I love your personality and your little differences from my families recipes. You should consider making more current videos; I'm sure many would enjoy them, as well as me!
I am considering making more videos.Thanks.
@@ThePolishChef please do
As a fourth generation Polish descendent who unfortunately never got to learn from his grandma (though I ate them as a child), I'm going to make these tonight for my family. I also finally had an opportunity to visit Poland this fall (Krakow) and fell in love. Takie piekne! (So beautiful!) We lost touch with our relatives who stayed in Poland and I'm really hoping to find and connect with them someday, hopefully soon.
Just made these, they turned out fantastic! Dziękuję Ci!
I might have to give your version a try. I feel like every Polish family has their own specific recipe, it's so interesting to see the variations. It's also hard to make enough pierogies to put away for later, they tend to disappear immediately after leaving the pan.
LOL
Lol, it's like me and making American Scones. They get maybe 30 seconds to cool before they get snatched off the plate. I wind up having to make a triple batch to have any to freeze. And a single batch makes 30-ish 4 inch square scones. XD
@@warriormaiden9829 How long do the frozen ones even last before they get eaten, too?
@@Blisscent Less than two weeks. I bag them in sets of 3-6, so you can just pull a bag out and toss it in the microwave for a few minutes. They make great breakfasts on the go, but someone (cough *husband* cough) likes to snag more than one bag. Give my son a few years to reach the freezer and learn how to use the microwave, and he'll probably do the same thing. XD
My Grandmother used to use the entire kitchen table to make a batch of pierogi's. I was 5 or 6 years old. She would sit me down with a small bowl of filling while I watched her make the dough. She made a hundred at a time then got on a bus to deliver them to her church friends downtown. Today when I have a pierogi I always think of her.
nice memories .
Wonderful memory of your Babci...
I grew up eating these, my mother would make a huge batch, and we would eat them 3 meals a day until they were gone. Fried up in a cast iron skillet with onions, sometimes we would have gravy insteasd of sour cream. YUM!
my next quarantine project is to make them.
Once you taste a pirogi the way it should be made you always want them. My Mom's dough was melt in your mouth. Some liked them fried but I enjoyed them with melted butter and onions just translucent poured on them. I make the filling now and use lasagna noodles and serve them in squares, or mix the filling with noodles or macaroni. Cassarole dish wonder. You can take that mixture of potatoes (and they have to be mashed so as they are lumpy. For some reason they taste better than just mashed potato. Regular cottage cheese works. No recipe just know to mix it all together and then add the pasta.
So good ! My mother’s maiden name is Oschefski. I shake a bit of dill and garlic on ‘em! Thanks for the lesson!
I checked this video a few years ago and made my first batch of pierogies. They were so popular that I was asked to make them for Christmas dinner for 15 people. Now it is an unspoken expectation that I will make them every Christmas dinner. It is definitely a labor of love but I wanted to thank you for the video. You have become a part of my family's Christmas celebration. Dziękuję Ci.
You welcome. Prosze bardzo.
Sir i loved your nonstop cleaning! My hungarian family is the same - cleaning up all the time :)
We live in canada and its rather unusual here, whoever visits our house gets shocked by our habits
The couple that cooks together, stays together! Bravo. Now, my wife and I will go cook
Sean MR
I cooked with the friend of my husband 😃, guess we became friends too then 😜
I love Italian food like ravioli, and I'm Irish so I love potatoes. This is the best of both worlds for me! My new favorite food! I loves cramming down my carbs!
I should weigh 400lbs with all I eat, but I only weigh 150... Lol.
Anybody that says “after my beer“ deserves a sub! ❤️
🙏👍👍🇺🇸💫🍻
I love pierogies my mother-in-law was 100% Polish from Poland
and she taught me how to make pierogies & multitudes of Polish dishes.👍👍
Her move at 7:41 earned you my subscription. I love a little mischief.
I grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood in Chicago in the 60s & 70s. My best friend, Kathy, lived a few houses down the "block" from me. Her mom was Lithuanian and her dad was Polish, both born in America. Like most families in that neighborhood during that era, Kathy's Dad worked in at the steel plant and her mom was a "housewife" and she did the cooking. But every so often, usually, for special occasions, Kathy's Dad would make traditional polish foods. Pierogi and kugala (not sure if that's the correct spelling) are the ones I loved best. If her Dad was cooking, Kathy would run down the block to get me. Thank you for a nostalgic blast from my past!! I think I'll try making some myself!
My motto "clean as you go, and you'll have less to clean when it's time to go."
Thanks for the great tutorial. Start to finish.
Tomorrow I try my hand at making pierogies for the first time.
Wish me well!☺
Ohhhh boy these are outstanding!! Made and cooked exactly 💯 the way I love em!! Chef you and the Mrs are the pierogies masters!! Fabulous!
Thanks.
My grandma made so many good things from the old country! She never used written recipes, she knew it all so well! My lil Polish nana!😍
Have been watching too many Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese and Mexican chefs (if you can watch them too much lol) and have been looking some new cuisines to try out. Polish kitchen looks really fun and whole hearted!
Oh how this brings back memories from many years ago with people that have been gone for many years. To taste this food and seeing it being made brings a tear to my eye. Dziękuję
You are very welcome.
Same here. My Babcia’s were the best. I miss her…
I like how you " clean as you go". We were taught that in the Navy
Not even 1 minute into the video and I already like this guy🤓🤓
My boyfriend is Polish n these are his favorite and he’s coming back from a 20 day long trip and I’m making these for him n surprising him when I go pick him up at the airport I’m so excited thank you thank you 😊
I know it's 2 months later but I hope your boyfriend enjoyed your pierogi.😊
thank you so much for the video! my fiancé is polish and i’m caribbean so i been learning to cook polish food for him :)
showed this to my polish grandmother! it brought her back a childhood memory :,) so i made with her. touching memory. thank you 🙏
Yum!!! Grew up eating these 70 years ago and still make them just as shown by the Polish chef. I serve them with kielbasa and saurkraut cooked with onions and lots of butter. Fattening? Yes but only eat them once in a while. An amazing piece of cultural history!!
Thanks . Right you are .
My polish grandmother taught my mom to make perogi. She never cut circles, she just took a sharp knife and cut strips, then into rectangles. She would put the filing in by heaping teaspoon and stretch the dough over. This way she never re-rolled dough and no waste scraps. She had 11 children so this was faster and cheaper! She used to make 100+ at a time. 8 boys, 3 girls.
How wide should the strips be?
Making a 100 children at a time sounds exhausting.
@@Adaephonable LLLOOLLL😅
@@MrCarpet8 Probably about 3 inches
@@MrCarpet8 If my memory is correct, about 2" x 3" since the dough stretches. A lot depends on how much filingvyou want to put into each one. Cut one strip up that size and see if the finished perogies are the size you want.
There used to be a restaurant about 20 minutes from my house called Pierogi in a pinch. The woman that owned was Czechoslovakian. She used family recipes. It was my favorite place to eat. Now the closest place for me is a 3 hour drive. Thank you for sharing this. I am going to make my own and make sauerkraut and latkes with it.
It is not rocket science, just takes patience, and time. Lots of clean up. You really cannot fail. Are the latkes the potato pancakes? He does the more Slovak dough, with no sourcream in it. I like his dough better. I would suggest making double or triple the amount, they freeze very well, if you don't eat those all. Don't forget the onions and butter. If you really don't know how to cook, put the perogies on a sheet and freeze, then put those into a bag, otherwise they will stick together. It would take me 1.5 hours to do this alone, but usually get at least one helper, it is tedious. I am probably your age and been making them all my life, it is still slow.
I was so in love with your stolnica, that I asked my carpenter to make me one. It's wonderful and I can't wait to make pierogi now. Thank you for showing us your stolnica.
There was a delivery pirogi place I would order from with various "americanised" versions like mac and cheese, cream of spinich, sour cream and jalapeno in addition to the traditional flavors. Everything was served with fried onions and it was all fried up in bacon grease with bacon bits. They also would do grilled kielbasa sandwiches and bigos.... The place closed down a few years back and I miss it. I dream about it sometimes.
Catchphrase: "Because that's what the recipe calls for, and you should not question me: I'm the Polish chef!" 😁
Good one ?
Enjoyed your video. Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow. Both you and your wife are pleasant without blabbing on about unrelated matters. Simple ingredients, and the pierogi look heavenly. I am going to make these in the very near future!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My husband is Polish, and I am Filipina. 🇵🇭😃 I've been seeking for pierogi since I first tried them in Poland. 😅 I'm delighted I came across your video and subscribed immediately! 😃 It was incredibly helpful to me to learn how to make my own pierogi anytime I craved them. Dziękuję bardzo! ❤️
You can do it!
My boyfriends Polish family makes these every Christmas for Christmas Eve, I’ve never done it before, so I watched this video and impressed them all!! Thanks for all the tips and can’t wait to eat them!
Great !!
We had a heavy bottomed sause pan, filled it with onions, aboutb 3 lb, and butter or margerine-- about 1 lb. SLOWLY , slowly cook the onions down till they are well carmilized and almost disintegrated. this takes many hours, but using this butter and onion mix is heavenly. We would only fry them as leftovers, and for Christmas eve with the whole family, babu, uncles, aunts cousins we'd be in the kitchen days!! Good times!!
My dad's mom taught her how to make pierogi. When she made the pierogi, it was an event. I liked them just boiled. My dad preferred to have them fried up and served with a little sour cream. This video brought back some wonderful childhood memories. Dziękuję!
I am glad.
This man is a legend. I made his recipe exactly as recommended and my pierogis came out perfectly on my very first try.
Glad to hear that
My late grandmother was born to Polish immigrants straight off the boat in NY. Your channel is so enjoyable to me; you make all the same food I helped her with as a small child. Thank you. God bless you.
Thank you.
I followed the link and went to Susan’s cooking school. There I found the pierogi making kit and the board that the Polish Chef used in the video. It all arrived yesterday and is perfect for the task. Well thought through and packaged exceptionally well. The only item our Polish Chef forgot to include was a Beer!! I can’t wait to take my daughters back to our Polish roots with this kit during our quarantine. Thanks again Polish Chef and Susan’s Cooking School! I had to come back and edit because my wife just reminded me that the chef did reduce my shipping cost by combining items which saved me enough money to buy a twelve pack of beer! Well done Chef!
I think I saw something like this board on Shark Tank! It may have been him, I can't remember..
Being half Polish I love these dishes.
You are truly Polish as I am. You work your ass off, you know what you’re talking about you’re a great chef and you’re a hard worker as I said before. You’re very direct and blunt but yet polite and strict. If I ever had a chance to work with you in a restaurant as I am a trained chef for 30 years plus, I would love to do it in a heartbeat. I am from Wisconsin in the US and I would move wherever you are just to work with you You remind me of my grandparents who are very strong and strict in the kitchen as I was a child. Thanks for sharing God bless and keep sharing please
Hi Polish Chef... I am in Poland right now and I love Pierogi so much!! Thank you for the recipe!!! 🥰🥰
Great. Pierogi made right are delicious !!!
Those are the most beautiful pierogi I’ve seen since I was a child when my great grandma was still alive. And she cooked and served them exactly the same way, but would sometimes fry them in bacon fat.
That's how I always make them! Every flavor of savory pierogi taste amazing fried in bacon fat and served with a side of chopped bacon. Yum!
I love pierogi! Growing up in Canada, I had many European friends and always enjoyed it when I was served these for a meal.
I also agree that a potato ricer is the best tool for making mashed potatoes. Can I offer a tip to you? Don't bother peeling your potatoes. Cut them in half across the short section, to check for rot, but then just put a half into the potato ricer. This peels and mashes the potato. I then use a pair of small tongs to pull out the peel left behind and proceed to the next half. It works!
I am making pierogis this weekend for my family for Christmas. When I was a child my grandmother who immigrated to Canada from Ukraine taught my Mom and the recipe was passed down to me and my sisters. I will pass the recipe on to my daughter. I also like my pierogis fried in butter with onions and sour cream .
Making pierogi for Christmas is very traditional. I like your plan and best of luck.
My favourite is pierogi with sauerkraut. YUM
yes very yummy
You remind me of my polish grandpa who I only knew as a kid, before he passed. But he loved to cook, and was an army chef for many years. He got to work serving VIPs and high ranking officers, after a chance encounter with General Eisenhower when he was touring the lines and sampled his cooking, as the story goes.
I remember every vacation spent with my grandparents, was always him in the kitchen cooking, and me sitting at the table helping, while he told me war stories, and stories about him hunting in combat zones to feed the troops.
Nice story. Good memories.
Those pierogi look delicious! I love pierogi, of course, in my country they go by a different name. But my all time favorite comfort food, is dumplings...whether they be pierogi (Polish), vareniki (Ukrainian), gyoza (Japanese), or Pelimeni (Russian)
I just found these videos, and I just wanted to say these are great and they’re giving me flashbacks of my babcia and when she would cook for the holidays. Thank you for this.
Amazing job and these look fantastic ! I want to go in the closet and put on my grandpa's old bowling shirt , strap on the accordion and eat them and close my eyes to remember my childhood. Thank You for such a wonderful video. God Bless.
Thank you. Nice story. Good old days.
My whole family is Puertorrican and I've been making Polish recepies lately like Polskie naleśniki and they all love it!
That's great!
This is awesome! If you're able to try to make these and use farmers cheese (it can be kind of hard to find), green onions, and salt as a filling and it's AAAAAAAAMAZING
Daar Polish chef, have to leave a comment. Love the way you and your wife are with each other! 'Dear'..so sweet. And the recipe looks very delicious!! Hope I can try it soon. God Bless!! From Holland greetings!
