potato

🥗Healthier: sweet potato

💰Cheaper: mashed potato flakes

Sweet potatoes are more nutritious, while mashed potato flakes are budget-friendly.

cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and higher in protein.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour offers more nutrients.

Add flour over the top of the pierogi maker form to prevent sticking.

Cover the form with a thin layer of pierogi dough.

Add filling using a spoon, pastry bag, or pre-measured amounts.

Cover the filling with a second layer of dough, pressing gently to stretch the pockets.

Use a rolling pin to seal and cut the edges of the pierogi.

Remove excess dough and set it aside for later use.

Turn the form over to release the pierogi, pushing them out if necessary.

Once boiled, serve the pierogi boiled, fried, or baked.
