How to Make Potato Pierogies With Cabbage And Bacon

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/8 cup vegetable oil over high heat until shimmering.
Add half of the pierogies and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned (about 2-3 minutes per side).
Transfer browned pierogies to a large rimmed baking sheet. Cover with foil and keep warm in the oven.
Repeat with remaining pierogies and oil.
Wipe out the skillet. Add 2 tablespoons butter and melt over medium heat.
Add 4 slices (approximately 4 oz) maple-cured bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crisp (about 7 minutes).
Remove bacon from skillet, set aside, and crumble when cool.
Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Add 2 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced, and cook over moderately low heat until softened and caramelized (about 8-10 minutes).
Add 1 medium head of green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 4 cups), salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is very tender (about 15-20 minutes).
Stir in 1 teaspoon sweet paprika and 1/2 teaspoon hot paprika. Cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Add 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt and 1/4 cup hot water. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Add cooked pierogies and gently toss with the sauce.
Serve immediately on a warm platter, topped with crumbled bacon and fresh parsley (optional).
