The singular form of pierogi is pieróg.
The fact that pierogi has a singular form is the least fun fact in existence
Ah, but it is a fun fact in existence.
what about if it was one massive pieróg
what if outside burn while inside raw
now I’m craving pierogis
Ah so this is what they mean by cute as a dumpling.
I just made pierogies for the first time a couple weeks ago!
Absolutely scrumptious and even a ham fisted caveman such as myself could do it.
Do you have the recipe by chance?
By the way, PSA: Wikipedia’s sister site Wikibooks has a section dedicated to recipes: see Pierogi I, Pierogi II.
Neat! Thanks!
I also made some notes here regarding the provided recipe. It’s better to put sauteed onion in the filling instead of using it for frying. And some other additions to the filling are quite nice.

The only caveat is that a 2" round will NEVER fit the amount of mashed potato mix the recipe calls for. Either cut bigger (I used 3.5" cutters) or flatten the disc after cutting.
The recipe makes a mistake in calling for the onion and herbs be used after boiling the pierogi. It’s way better to pre-sauté the onion, mix it into the mashed potato together with the herbs (mainly green onion), and shove it in the pierogi.
I also advise to try using hard-boiled eggs by chopping them and putting them in the filling with a generous amount of green onions (this combo can in fact be used on its own, without potato, at least in baked pirozhki). Or alternatively, adding pre-cooked and chopped chicken meat. Fried mushrooms do well too.
You can look up varenyky and chebureki for more inspiration regarding the fillings. E.g. varenyky can be made with cherry or curd. And perhaps also see pirozhki, but those are usually baked.
Thanks so much!
Nice :) It’s a family tradition to make them every year at christmas and it’s been passed to me I guess haha, I love it tho.

Apprently, they have a whole line of merch, too. I think I have a new Away Team favorite.
Edot: okay, I got ahead of myself. Some of the merch I saw was actually for a Pittsburgh event (which makes it no less cool).
