RE: How to make traditional potato and cheese pierogi
hey I'm polish and just so you know we call those "ukrainian" pierogi. If you made them with white cheese inside instead of potatoes then they would be "russian" pierogi. They both good anyway. I'll follow your account to see how you doing :). Please follow me @barteksiama
Thank you! That's good to know - I have heard them called "Russian" with cheese before but never "Ukrainian". Thanks for the insight :)
It's not Russian. Pierogi ruskie not rosyjskie. Name come from Ruś Czerwona - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Ruthenia. So the best translated name is ruthenian dumplings.
