Polish hałuski (hah-WOOSS-kee) is a comfort-food dish that means different things to different people. We make it with onion and cabbage slowly sautéed in lots of butter, mixed with al dente-cooked 1/2-inch wide noodles.
Hałuski dumplings are made with potato dough, which is sometimes mixed with dry curd cheese or drained cottage cheese. Others add chopped smoked kielbasa, ham, ground pork, and sour cream. It's a versatile dish that can be a side or main course. Hałuski is a good candidate for a potluck, buffet, game day, or anytime a casserole is just the ticket.
Don't confuse this Polish hałuski recipe with Slovak halušky (hah-LOOSH-kee), which are dumplings made with a grated potato dough. There are lots of variations of the Slovak version as well.
“Comfort food at its best! Lightly caramelizing the onions in butter and then cooking down the cabbage creates a flavor base that melds perfectly with egg noodles. The dish is hearty and satisfying enough to serve as a vegetarian meal, but it could also be a delicious side dish for roasted chicken or grilled meat.” —Joan Velush
