Here's a challenge for all the great cooks in this thread.

We made some frozen potato-cheese pierogies for lunch a couple days ago. They were pretty bland, not unexpected, but we had them in the freezer forever after my mother in law gave them to us. So now I have about a dozen or so left over that we really aren't excited about eating. I pride myself on being a creative cook, especially when turning leftovers into a different meal. But I'm struggling.

Best I can come up with is try to smash them flat and fry them, with salt and pepper, kind of like a hash brown. Thinking that allows me to add other toppings after they're fried and either use them for breakfast or an appetizer or side dish.

Any creative ideas on how to use these? And "throw them in the garbage" isn't acceptable, I already thought about that one too.

I'll probably use them up in some way by Saturday, so there's a deadline!
