Pierogies & Fries




















I was feeling pretty creative last night so I came up with this awesome dish. Easy and fun to make, this will be a winner with everyone!

Ingredients:- 1 package store bought pierogies (I used Feta, Spinach & Potato filling)
- 4 potatoes, peeled and sliced into long strips, like fries
- 2 cups frozen peas
- vegetable or canola oil
- bread crumbs, Italian style
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- salt
- pepper

To Make:
Begin by dredging the fries in the flower and breadcrumb mixture. Add a bit of salt and pepper and a dash of water.

In a hot pan, add enough oil so it's about 1/2 inch deep. Heat the oil and gently add the fries in batches. Cook on each side about 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

In a separate pan, drizzle slightly with oil and heat then slowly add in the pierogies. These will need to cook about 6-7 minutes on each side as well until golden brown. Once the pierogies are cooked, add in the peas. Season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste. The peas need about 5 minutes to cook.

To plate:
Arrange 3-4 pierogies on a plate, top with peas and place a section of the fries over top. Top with fresh feta cheese.

Serve while hot.
