- 1 pack frozen or homemade pierogi (about 12)
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, chives)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Boil the pierogi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pierogi and cook for 2-3 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- Pan-fry: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
- Crisp the pierogi: Add boiled pierogi to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
- Season & serve: Sprinkle with fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. Serve warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For extra crispy pierogi, cook them a little longer in the butter.
- If using homemade pierogi, let them dry for a few minutes before boiling to prevent them from sticking.
- Add sautéed onions or bacon bits for extra flavor.
