The first time I tried these bite-sized pasta pockets filled with whipped potato seasoned with bacon, cheddar, sour cream, and chives, I fell in love.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Like many of my favorite ALDI releases, their availability is always fleeting. And now that I\u2019ve had an opportunity to stock back up on my favorite frozen pierogies, my faith in ALDI has been restored, and I\u2019m ready to share more about this extremely affordable and delicious product.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Simply Recipes \/ Getty Images<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-tip text-passage\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">ALDI Bremer Loaded Baked Potato Pierogies<\/h3>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block text-passage\">\n<p><strong>Price:<\/strong> $2.99 for a 16-ounce box<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why I Love It:<\/strong> These pierogies are stuffed with a soft, whipped filling that tastes just like a loaded baked potato. I love how easy it is to air fry them when I\u2019m short on time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-why-i-love-aldis-loaded-baked-potato-pierogies\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Why I Love ALDI\u2019s Loaded Baked Potato Pierogies <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Each box contains 12 pierogies with a suggested serving size of four, but I have no problem eating up to six at one time because they\u2019re just that good! For $2.99, you get a dozen surprisingly well-stuffed pierogies that can be boiled, sauteed, baked, deep-fried, or air-fried.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you\u2019re wondering if they<em> actually<\/em> taste like loaded baked potatoes, it&#8217;s a resounding yes from me\u2014although I like to describe them as the extra-light version. As you bite into the noodle exterior, your taste buds are met with a soft, whipped potato filling that contains noticeable notes of cheddar cheese and chives.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-how-i-prepare-aldis-loaded-baked-potato-pierogies\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> How I Prepare ALDI\u2019s Loaded Baked Potato Pierogies\u00a0 <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> When I\u2019m feeling lazy and hungry, I let the air fryer work its magic on my frozen pierogies. They get coated in olive oil and then cooked in the air fryer for 12 to 14 minutes at 400\u00b0F. They\u2019re extra hot at this point, so I let them cool off for a few minutes before serving.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If I\u2019m in the mood to work a little magic of my own for dinner, I prefer the sheet pan method with a few delicious upgrades. I preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. On the stovetop, I saute three strips of bacon cut into one-inch pieces until crispy and set them aside for later.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_19-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> I toss the pierogies in a little olive oil, then arrange them on the sheet pan and bake for 18 minutes, flipping once halfway through. After removing the pan from the oven, I cover each pierogi with shredded cheddar cheese and the cooked bacon. The pan goes back in the oven until the cheese melts, then I sprinkle the pierogies with fresh chives, ground black pepper, and a dollop of sour cream. Try this for yourself and enjoy a loaded baked potato pierogi as the grocery gods intended.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_21-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> <sub><em>To learn more about our approach to product recommendations, see HERE.<\/em><\/sub>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#ALDI #Freezer #Find #Good #Stocking<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a bittersweet relationship with ALDI.
