I love having some pierogies when I am in the mood for cozy, comforting food, especially in the winter!
Never had one before? Essentially pierogies are dumplings made with unleavened dough wrapped around a sweet or savory filling. They can be cooked in boiling water and often pan-fried. Traditionally they are served with some sour cream and applesauce!
Originally pierogies came from Central and Eastern Europe before being brought to the United States through immigrants. Pierogies have become a popular food here now and it is easy to find frozen ones in the grocery store.
How to Prepare Frozen Pierogies in the Instant Pot
This recipe couldn’t be any easier! All you need is a package of frozen pierogies and some water!
You can cook the pierogies right from frozen – no need to defrost first!
As I mentioned, you can use any type of pierogi for this recipe. I just happen to like the potato and cheese flavor the best!
First you will add 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot.
Then open the package of pierogies and pour into the Instant Pot.
Make sure they are not sticking together, so pull them apart if need be.
Then close the Instant Pot and set the valve to the sealing position.
Press the Pressure Cook button and set the time to cook for 1 minute on High pressure.
When the Instant Pot is finished, use the Quick Release function to release the steam through the valve.
When the pin has dropped, it is safe the open the Instant Pot and scoop out the pierogies using a slotted spoon and place on a serving plate.
