Potato & Cheese Pierogi Filling

The simple and original way of making the potato and cheese pierogi filling. It is the most authentic way of making this Polish dish, no cheddar cheese, no jalapenos, please! Just potatoes, farmer's cheese, sauteed onions, salt, and pepper to taste. If you want a little more umami taste you can use Maggi or in my opinion, a better ingredient is a good quality soy sauce. Neither is what your great-grandma would have used, so feel free to skip it. The number of potatoes and the amount of farmer's cheese used in this recipe yielded 30 large-size pierogi. In Polish Pierog is the singular and Pierogi stands for more than one Pierog, so please stop butchering the name and calling these pierogies, that is completely unnecessary :) Now, get to work. A delicious meal is not going to make itself. Enjoy!
