How To Make Air Fryer Pierogies

Recipe Variations
- This recipe can use any pierogi you like. I used a cheese and potato variety, but feel free to experiment!
- If you don’t have an air fryer, you can cook the pierogies on the stovetop or in the oven. Follow the instructions on the package for your preferred cooking method.
- I use shallots, but you could also use a small onion.
- Sour cream is a common topping for pierogies. It adds creaminess and tanginess to the dish. You could also use Greek yogurt or crème Fraiche.
- If you want to change the flavor of the pierogies, try adding some mushrooms before cooking. You could also top them with a dollop of salsa or marinara sauce.
Serving and Storage Tips
SERVE: You can serve these with sour cream and chopped fresh chives. You can keep these out for no more than two hours before they need to be covered and refrigerated.
