How to Make Pan Fried Pierogies

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place about 12 pierogies (adjust based on pan size) in the hot skillet, ensuring they aren't overcrowded.
Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a soft spatula to gently flip the pierogies to avoid tearing.
If needed, add a little more butter or oil as you cook to keep the pierogies from sticking.
Once all pierogies are cooked, remove from the skillet and serve immediately. Enjoy with your favorite sour cream, caramelized onions, or other desired toppings!
