Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the perogies according to the package instructions until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Chop the bacon into small pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon until it is crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the pan.
Peel and thinly slice the onions. Core the cabbage and thinly slice it into shreds.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet with the reserved bacon fat. Heat over medium heat until melted.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and sautΓ© for 5-7 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized.
Stir in the sliced cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly golden.
In a separate large skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the cooked perogies and pan-fry them in batches, cooking each side for about 2-3 minutes until golden and crispy. Transfer the fried perogies to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Once the cabbage and onions are cooked, stir in the crispy bacon pieces. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the fried perogies topped with the cabbage, onion, and bacon mixture. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
