Steps:
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped bacon and onions; cook and stir until the bacon is crisp and the onions are browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove bacon and onions to a small dish, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat for frying the pierogi.
- Place potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Stir in 1 egg and farmer's cheese. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Beat 1 egg with 1 tablespoon water in a bowl for the egg wash.
- Place 2 to 3 wonton wrappers at a time on a lightly floured work surface. Brush the edges lightly with the egg wash. Place about 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold each pierogi in half and lightly press the edges together to seal.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pierogi in the boiling water until they float, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain.
- Transfer pierogi to the skillet with reserved bacon drippings in batches and cook over medium heat until lightly browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl, toss with the bacon and onions, and serve garnished with sour cream and chives.

[email protected]These pierogi were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had baked them instead of frying them.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of pierogi, but I thought I'd give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The pierogi were crispy on the outside and soft and cheesy on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again.

[email protected]These pierogi were a little bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a more flavorful filling. The dough was also a bit thick for my liking.
