    The pierogies look yummy! But I have a question- how much filling do you put in each pierogie before you seal it, and what are the proportions of pisto/ onion, or whatever you’re filling with?

    Thanks!

      Hey Roz! Thanks for checking out the video. The answer to your question depends on the size you made your perogies. Mine were about three inches in diameter (before folding), so I went with a little over a teaspoon of filling. If yours are smaller, go with less, bigger, go with more. You’ll know if you have too much in there–it’ll start oozing out–which you don’t want because that’ll hurt your seal. This is the first time I went with onions for this–our family tends to like the cheddar cheese/bacon/sour cream combo. I used leftovers for the onions as well, about the equivalent of one small onion sautéed in butter to one cup of leftover mashed potatoes. I also added a quarter cup of sour cream for some fun. They ended up super tasty, and I’m sure we’ll be trying them again. Hope this helps! Let me know how yours turn out.

      Hello Wanda! My mother always asks me the same thing! And, because I’m that way, I checked it out once–I poured in exactly eight ounces (weight) of water into a one cup dry measuring cup, and it fit perfectly, so after that, I just stuck with it. (But, I’ll make sure I tell my mom, she’ll appreciate a vote on her side of things!)
