These potato-and-cheese dumplings complement any meal and are so satisfying that they can easily play center stage for dinner.

So I am unapologetic about using good-quality prepared food that helps me put dinner on the table quickly.

They take a matter of minutes to prepare, which is much, much faster than making homemade pierogi.

I typically only make homemade pierogi for special occasions because they are quite labor-intensive and time-consuming.

Then you have to prepare the wrappers by making a simple flour dough.

Kasias Pierogi are the best alternative to homemade.

There are a couple of ways to cook pierogi, whether homemade or store-bought.

When pan-fried, the potato dumplings develop a slightly crispy and toasty exterior that is divine.

So how do I like to serve Kasias Pierogi?

I keep it super-simple and top them with sour cream and thinly sliced chives.

This adds a lovely flavorful and sweet element to the dish.

My daughters like it when I serve them with a fried orpoached eggon top.

I often includebroccolior another green vegetable for aside dish.

Then Ill stir in a couple of dollops of sour cream for a luscious, creamy component.
