Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut top off garlic head, revealing cloves. Place on baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Roast for 30 minutes, until cloves are soft and caramelized. Remove from oven and let cool.

Boil the quartered russet potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to pot.

Add butter, salt, and black pepper and mash until smooth. Squeeze roasted garlic from its skins into the potatoes. Stir in cheddar cheese and mix well.

PIEROGI

Stuff each store-bought pierogi shell with the potato filling and seal as per packet instructions.

BACON AND BUTTER SAUCE

Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and crumble.

Remove excess grease from skillet, add the butter, minced garlic and rosemary. Continue cooking over medium-high heat until butter is browned.

PIEROGI

Transfer pierogi to skillet and toss gently in butter sauce. Heat until pierogi are warmed through.

PLATING

Spoon the butter sauce over the pierogi. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar and bacon crumbles. Add a dollop of yogurt before serving if desired.
