Homemade pierogi and tomato dill sauce

Remember how we used to always make Mrs. T's pierogis? Carolyn over at 'Chefski Digest posted this recipe for homemade pierogis. I tried them out this week and they turned out really well! I would use 3 potatoes next time rather than four, as I ended up with plenty of extra filling (though the filling stands on its own as tasty mashed potatoes.) I them with white pepper. Also, I made a tasty sauce by heating minced garlic, 1 can tomato sauce, a big spoonful of sour cream, and plenty of chopped dill on the stove. These took quite a mile to make, so I don't think they'll make it into the regular rotation, but maybe for a Russian/Eastern European-themed dinner sometime in the future??

Thanks for the inspiration, Carolyn!

Hurray! I'm so glad you tried these! I came over to find some vegetarian ideas, and I am so pleasantly surprised that you had success with your own homemade pierogi! Great work :)
