פירוגי חצי ביתי עם נקניקיות מעושנות ושעועית ירוקה

Cozy, hearty, and easier on the wallet than it looks: my semi-homemade smoked sausage and pierogi skillet.

Ingredients: 2 cups flour, ⅔ cup warm water, 1 tsp salt, 1 bag frozen French fries, 1 pouch four-cheese instant mashed potatoes, milk and Parmesan to taste, 1 pack smoked sausage, 1 can green beans (drained), salt and pepper, oil for frying.

Steps: Mix flour, water, and salt into a dough. Knead 5 min, rest 20. Boil fries 7 min, then mash with instant potatoes, milk, and Parmesan. Roll dough, cut circles, fill, seal, and boil 3 min. Fry sausage, add green beans, season. Pan-fry pierogi until golden, then toss it all together.

Short on time? Skip the pierogi and serve the sausage and green beans over mashed potatoes.
