Ingredients
- 16 pieces frozen potato and cheese perogies
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 medium ripe mango, diced
- 1 cup pineapple, finely diced
- 0.5 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the frozen perogies and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the cooked perogies to the skillet in a single layer and pan-fry them for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden and crispy. Do this in batches if needed and set aside on a plate.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, diced pineapple, diced red bell pepper, red onion, and minced jalapeño pepper.
Stir in the lime juice, chopped cilantro, ground allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to prepare the mango-pineapple salsa.
Arrange the crispy perogies on a serving platter and top with generous spoonfuls of the mango-pineapple salsa.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on the side for dipping and garnish with additional cilantro if desired.
