Pieróg biłgorajski is a baked good based on cooked potatoes, quark and cooked buckwheat groats (kasha).[1] The other ingredients are: eggs, śmietana (sour cream), fatback or lard, mint (fresh or dried) and spices (salt, black pepper).[1] The kneaded dough is formed into a rectangular or circular shape and baked in oven.[1] Optionally, pieróg biłgorajski can be folded in a thin layer of yeast-based dough.[2]

The texture of the pierog (sing.) is solid, easy to break or crumble, with its appearance resembling that of freshly cooked pâté.[2] May be served hot or cold, with śmietana (sour cream), milk or butter.[1]

A Polish dish with a similar taste is kaszak, which is de facto a bread roll infilled with Biłgoraj pierogi.

Since October 4, 2005 the Biłgoraj pierogi are found on the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's List of Traditional Products.[2]
