My Dad was from Poland, my wife's father was from Hamburg. My Mom was from Philly by way of her Mom being from Ukraine and her Dad from St. Petersburg. Her Mom from Russia and her Dad from Albania. We all went out to a Polish restaurant in or Queens NY neighborhood. The owner and my Dad started conversing in Polish. My Dad left in 1936 when he was 15. All my life he said he remembered very little Polish. The owner and my Dad left to go back into the kitchen where my Dad was fed most of the menu. When they returned they were both teary. My Dad said it took him back to Poland.

Hi, I am a Silesian man.
There were a couple of mistakes in making pierogi. I mean when you make a cheese and potato dumplings you should use mashed potatoes and quark (known in the US) it a cottage cheese curd (can be replaced with an extra firm tofu or feta cheese). you mix in ratio 1:1.
Spreadable soft cheese is a diluted version. You must have had the most classic version of cheesecake which is not made of philadelphia cheese but quark. Also, you add freshly ground black pepper and salt. Some people also add majoram and pressed garlic but I add golden colour finely chopped pan fried onions (butter or olive oil, sunflower oil).
When you make cabbage and mushrooms (ideally forest mushrooms) you need for example chop saurkraut before you fry it, grate 1-2 carrots finely- you don't need onions- for 1 kg of cabbage you need 3-4 medium sizes pressed garlic or finely chopped, majoram (1 heaped tablespoon), a quarter of teaspoon of ground allspice, 2 large bay leaves. black pepper (salt is not needed as cabbage contains it a lot)...
you can also try to make your life easier and make polish croquetes (crepes rolls that are breaded). You can use fillings with cabbage and potato and cheese ones. or get fussili pasta or home made egg pasta (ribbon shaped).. and mix with cabbage mushrooms.

Great video ❤ there are 2 ways to make a dough for pierogi. 1st one, my grandma was making them that way, is just warm (not hot) water mixed with regular wheat flour. 2nd way is basically the same but an egg is added to the mixture. It's a matter of preference, but I personally like the 1st method better. Adding an egg makes the dough a bit harder. And the thinner the dough is the better. The basic way is to have them boiled. You can freeze them if there are any left or you can fry them then. 😊

A part of my families roots are in Poland (Jablunkov Pass) and they always boiled then fried their pierogis so it was the best of both worlds, caramelized onions and sour cream always must haves and only sometimes dill. i love a little sprinkling of dill on most pierogis. In New Jersey there are a few great places that make and sell great polish food. So we are lucky to have great versions of nearly every food from around the world to try.

Beautiful dishes! I must say you've chosen some of my personal favourites, perfect for this time of year
PS1 The difference between silesian dumplings and pyzy is that first ones are made of boiling potatoes and second from raw (sometimes called 'grey dumplings'), we love our potatoes and have dishes with probably all possible variations 😃
PS2 Pierogi dough should be just a little bit thinner, sometimes you can see them with decorative edge- that's what we do to make sure they don't open while boiling, some recipes don't include eggs and might make the dough softer 🤍

Last dumplings are called "kluski śląskie" (silesian dumplings). The hole is made specially to keep the sauce. I think they are the easiest to make. You boil the potatoes and you smash them afterwards. The best is to put them in the round dish. You knead them in it to have flat surface and same thickness everywhere. Then you cut it on 4 same parts. You take one part out on the rest and fill the space with potatoe starch/flour, add egg and salt and mix it with hand. Than take small parts and roll to balls, flatten and make a hole with finger. On the end boil in salted water till they swim out on the surface. If you need any more instructions just ask I will be pleased to help you.
