Deep Fried Reuben Pierogies

This Sandwich-Inspired Sauerkraut Pierogi Recipe has Unusual Filling

This sauerkraut pierogi recipe is a nontraditional and tasty take on the Polish dumpling, with a distinctly delicious deli twist. Available on krautlook.com, the yummy reuben pierogies recipe is described by BuzzFeed's Lauren Paul as "little bite-sized, deep fried reuben sammies." Perfect to enjoy on game day, as an appetizer or savory afternoon snack, the sandwich-themed pierogies forego the usual potato filling for reuben-inspired ingredients.

If you want to try the reuben sauerkraut pierogi recipe at home, you will need wanton wrappers, either emmenthaler or another Swiss cheese, thinly sliced corned beef, sauerkraut and an egg. You can then dip the dumplings in thousand island dressing or more sauerkraut. Well drained Silver Floss or Krrrrisp Kraut sauerkraut is suggested for this dish.
