Pierogies are Polish dumplings that are filled with a variety of potatoes, cheeses, sauerkraut, and meat. They are typically boiled, pan fried or baked. Pierogies began as peasant food, but became widely popular amongst all social classes. Nowadays you can easily find pierogies all over Eastern Europe.
While traveling in Krakow, Poland we made it a mission to search for some pierogies. Off the main square we found a restaurant called Alter Ego that served pierogies with a variety of fillings.
Our smiles say it all, and we were pretty satisfied with our pierogi choices. Because pierogies are small enough to share we decided to each get a different plate of pierogies to try every variety.
Later in the afternoon our tummies began to grumble and we decided to go back for Round 2! This time we picked out our favorites to eat all on our own!
