My fillings is leftover mashed potatoes, kielbasa/ Sauerkraut mixed together with salt/pepper onion power. Most Pierogi recipes will use mashed potatoes sour cream and cheese as their filling but really you can put what ever you want in it. Just keep in mind you have to boil the pastry dough, dry it and fry it in butter.
