Perogies (pierogi in Polish, varenyky in Ukrainian) are filled dumplings found throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Potato and cheese is one of the best-loved fillings, and butter-fried onions are the classic finish. This is food for family tables and holidays, easy to put together on a weeknight.
