Inspired by a favorite family dinner, this Deep Dish Pierogi Pizza is smothered in creamy homemade mashed potatoes, sweet caramelized onions, crispy bacon, and gooey cheese...
To say that my family and I love all things pierogies would be an understatement. We first became obsessed with them while living near Pittsburgh over 3 years ago. That city has some mad love for their pierogies.
Though I have never made homemade pierogies myself (yet), the frozen variety usually make an appearance on our weekly meal plan at least twice a month. I usually give them a quick boil, and then immediately fry them in a little olive oil and butter in a hot skillet. Sometimes I will saute some fresh cabbage to serve with them, but our favorite way to eat them is with caramelized onions, a little crisp bacon, and a smattering of melted cheese. And a little sour cream on the side for good measure. ;)
I have had the idea of creating a homemade pierogi-inspired pizza mulling around in my head for over a year now. Why I hadn't made this little delicious daydream into a reality sooner is a mystery to me! I finally got the little push that I needed to make this recipe idea happen when I saw the 2015 Idaho Potato Commission Recipe Contest for this year's Food & Wine Conference. What better way to showcase Idaho potatoes than with this delicious deep dish pizza recipe?
