Potato Cheese Pierogies
"These were really good, but labor intensive. You MUST use white flour in the dough, or it just falls apart. The filling was very yummy. A mold for making the pierogis may help in making them look a little nicer."

Five stars as this recipe is easy to follow and tasted good. Mine tured out very funny looking, but that was due to my inexperience with making them and not the recipe. Made a double batch, and found that there was a lot of filling left over (again not sure if that was just my error). We ate some fresh ones for dinner and they were great. I froze the rest and hope that they turn out well also. Thanks for this recipe, it was fun to do!

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
