Halushki - A Slovak favorite

Polish Halushki With Potato dumplings nov 03  print recipe Polish Halushki with Potato Dumplings Posted by jerseyjan 7/17/01 10:47:14 am One of my family’s favorites.  Very rich and fattening but worth it.  My Mom taught my Dad and Dad taught me.  My brother and I grew up on this. Potato Dumplings 4 peeled and grated Idaho potatoes 2 eggs 2 teaspoons salt About 3 1/2 to 4 cups flour Grate potatoes, add salt, eggs and flour.  Add a little water (about 1/4 to 1/2 cup) if dough is too stiff.  Drop small portions from tip of spoon into boiling water.  Cook 5-8 minutes.  Drain well. Keep warm. Fry 1 pound bacon and crumble into pieces. Fry 1 medium head (core removed) of chopped cabbage and 3 medium diced onions in butter till slightly browned.  Season with salt and pepper. Combine cooked potato dumplings, crumbled bacon, browned cabbage and onions.  Add a little more butter, if needed, if it appears too dry.  Season to taste. Best if served immediately. * NOTE: To raw potato dumplings mixture I sometimes add 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and 2 cloves minced fresh garlic.
