Description

Potato Pierogy (Varenyky) with Bacon Crisps are hearty savory dumplings with a classic Ukrainian flavour. The delicate dough from premium wheat flour and water hides a rich filling of potatoes, pork brisket (bacon crisps) and fried onion, lightly seasoned with salt and ground black pepper. Pork brisket adds juiciness and a smoky note, while fried onion gives a sweet, home-style aroma.

These varenyky are perfect as a main course for lunch or dinner – serve them hot with butter, sour cream, fried onions or fresh herbs. They pair well with salads, pickles or a simple vegetable side.

Cooking method: frozen varenyky are put into boiling salted water. They are brought to a boil while stirring and cooked for 5–7 minutes. Cooked dumplings are taken out from the water and dressed to taste (with butter or sour cream).
