Pierogies Pot Stickers With Herbs And Sour Cream - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 lb frozen potato pierogi, any kind
1 cup water
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped or 2 teaspoons dried dill leaves
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1 cup sour cream

Preparation

Cover the bottom of a skillet with softened butter. Arrange pierogies in the pan in a single layer. Add 1 cup water. Cover pan and place over medium-high heat. Cook, covered, 8 minutes.
Remove lid and cook out any remaining liquid. Let the pierogies stick to the pan and brown in the butter as the liquid evaporates. (I find that this usually takes at least 5 minutes. Try to gently nudge a pierogi - if it doesn't move easily, then it's not done yet.) Remove crisp pierogies from heat and add chopped herbs and season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat and serve with sour cream on the side. Yum!
NOTE: If you're using a smaller pan for this and must make two separate batches, I recommend that you wipe out the \"old\" butter and recoat with fresh butter before starting the second batch.
