What Kind Of Sauce Is Good With Pierogies?
You can actually enjoy perogies on their own without any sauce, but they are really good with butter sauce, too. There are many recommended sauce recipes if you want to add a little kick to your potato perogies.
Or, you could just serve them with sour cream, which is what I did, and they were delicious.
What's Good With Pierogies?
Everything! I like these on their own like a little appetizer, but you can totally serve them as a main dish, too. They go really well with any number of side dishes, like this million dollar mac and cheese, or you could pair them with these slow cooker meatballs. And for dessert, you really do need to try these mini cheesecakes with almonds.

Hi. Can you clarify the yield and serving size please? If it only makes 3*I'm really going to have to scale this up!
