Years ago one of my customers, Geri P., shared her Polish Grandma’s Pierogi recipe with me. While I do have another similar recipe on this site, I want to include this one which has sour cream in it (the other recipe does not). I had a perogi “cook off” with a handful of friends, and they said both recipes were equally good. With that being said, I felt it was only fair to post them both. You will find the “filling” recipes on this site under Pierogi Fillings. The photo features pierogios with various fillings!
