🇵🇱 Poland recipe

Pierogi

Poland's most iconic dish, pierogi are tender half-moon dumplings with a satisfying chew, stuffed with creamy potato and sharp farmer's cheese (ruskie), then boiled until they float and finished in sizzling butter with caramelized onions. Every Polish grandmother has her own closely guarded recipe, passed down through generations.
