Pirogies made in an air fryer are without a doubt one of the dishes that we are asked to prepare the most often. Potatoes and cheese are the ingredients that go into the creation of these pillow-like delights, which may be consumed as a tasty snack, side dish, or meal on their own.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE A PIEROGY?
The European dumpling known as pierogi is a tiny pillow-shaped dumpling that may be filled with either a sweet or a savoury filling before being subjected to cooking. I couldn’t contain my excitement when I discovered these delicious dumplings in the frozen food area of my neighbourhood grocery store. I couldn’t wait to give them a go in the air fryer.
It was just potatoes and cheese that were included in the pierogies that I discovered, but that was more than enough flavour. Although they are sold frozen, they are also available packed with a variety of additional ingredients, including meat, cheddar, sauerkraut, and onion, to mention a few. When I use the air fryer, the Kasia brand crisps up so wonderfully that I can’t get enough of it.
Despite the fact that you may create this recipe from scratch, I chose to utilise frozen pierogies that had previously been cooked in order to maintain this dish as a simple lunch or snack. Furthermore, you will want an air fryer in addition to the pierogies, as well as about one tablespoon of olive oil.
INGREDIENTS
- 14 ounces pierogi frozen
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Optional: Sour cream, caramelized onions, mushrooms, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Instructions:
- Place each item to the side in the basket of the air fryer in an even manner. While they are being air-fried, you should make an effort to prevent them from overlapping or stacking so that they can cook more evenly.
- Make sure that all sides of each item are coated by using cooking oil spray, brushing olive oil, or tossing the ingredients.
- After being gently coated with olive oil, they should be cooked at a temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit for ten to twelve minutes, or until they have a golden and crispy texture. In the middle of the cooking process, flip them over.
- Place on a heated platter and serve with sour cream, onions, mushrooms, or any other toppings of your choosing.
