I came across a video last week with Damian Kordas, the winner of Polish edition of Masterchef and Jamie Oliver, making pierogi together.  The idea for the filling what was I really liked, so I purchased a piece of smoked cheese in Polish deli and made some last night. Unusual, as I’d never have thought of such combination, but different and very pleasant.  The filling consisted of mashed potatoes, the said grated, smoked cheese, could be oscypek, if one happened to be in south of Poland. Some cranberry jam/cranberry sauce. Chopped, fried shallot. Seasoning, lots of nutmeg.  Twice cooked, first blanched, then quickly panfried and served with some crunchy bacon bits or soured cream, the way Florek likes his pierogi. Interesting, festive.
