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 or ham, or 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.
