Description

Low-fat frozen potato pierogis are a lighter and more convenient version of this traditional dish of Polish origin, very popular in Eastern European cuisine and also appreciated in Latin America. Pierogis are a type of stuffed dumpling or pastry, and in this case, they are made with a classic mashed potato filling, but prepared in a way that significantly reduces the fat content, making them a healthier option.

These frozen pierogis facilitate storage and preparation, allowing you to enjoy this traditional food without the work of making the dough and filling from scratch. They are ideal for baking, boiling, or pan-frying, maintaining their characteristic flavor and texture.

Properties: Being low in fat, these pierogis provide fewer calories and are suitable for those looking to manage their intake of saturated fats while maintaining a source of carbohydrates from potatoes. Additionally, potatoes provide fiber, B vitamins, and minerals such as potassium.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Although the term "pierogi" is the most common and recognized, in some countries it may be found under similar names such as potato empanadillas or simply frozen potato-stuffed empanadillas, although these terms can refer to different preparations depending on the region.
