Pieróg biłgorajski is a baked good based on cooked potatoes, quark and cooked buckwheat groats (kasha)[1]. The other ingredients are: eggs, śmietana (sour cream), fatback or lard, mint (fresh or dried) and spices (salt, black pepper).[1] The kneaded dough is formed into a rectangular or circular shape and baked in oven.[1] Optionally, pieróg biłgorajski can be folded in a thin layer of yeast-based dough[2]. The texture of the pierog (sing.) is solid, easy to break or crumble, with its appearance resembling that of freshly cooked pâté.[2] May be served hot or cold, with śmietana (sour cream), milk or butter.[1].

Also tasty when fried up a bit in a pan.
