This of which we speak of, Pierogies, are I believe Polish in origin. I luckily live in an area not too far from a large Eastern European, especially Polish and Ukraine population. I get some amazing pierogi, krako and kielbasa. A couple of churches in Clifton have ladies clubs that monthly make and sell pierogi. I am sitting here drooling. Such a simple, peasant food is so incredible. They can be sweet or savory. You can keep them simple or fancy them up. I could go on and on about pierogi. I make a casserole from them, I make a appetizer with them, by far one of my favorite foods/ingredients. Mike I don't have my pierogi casserole written down. I will take pen to paper later and figure out measurments. It's something I throw together using pinches and palms as measures (if anyone has a recipe from their grandmother, it's kinda like that...you use this and that and you'll know when its right theory)
This is the list from one (Janeks) of the two places I frequent.
Potato & Cheese
Made with fresh potatoes, American cheese, sauteed onions, garlic & spices.

Same as above, but without cheese.

Prune
California prunes cooked and made into pierogi. Nothing else is added, Mother nature gets credit for this one.
