Steps:
- Sprinkle pork chops with garlic powder, salt and pepper and place in a large greased sauce pan or deep skillet with chopped onion and fry until very brown and well cooked. It is ok if they stick a little, as the drippings are essential in this dish. When done, remove chops and set aside.
- Add a little water to the saucepan or skillet and mix up the drippings a bit. Place cabbage into the pot, and allow to cook down completely.
- In a separate large saucepan, boil the egg noodles in water until cooked. Drain noodles and mix in butter.
- Cut up the pork chops to bite size pieces and set aside. When the cabbage has cooked down, add pork and cooked noodles and mix completely.

TRADITIONAL SLOVAK HALUSKI
This has been in my family for generations coming from Czechoslovakia. Traditionally, it is mixed with goat cheese from Czechoslovakia but since it's not available here in the States, we use brick cheese or feta. We eat this as a main meal but can be served as a side. Serve as is or add kielbasa on the side or slice up kielbasa and mix it in with haluski! Serve with warm crusty bread.

Steps:
- Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on paper towels. When bacon is cool, crumble and set aside.
- Place potatoes into a food processor and process until pureed, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and stir in flour, eggs, baking powder, and salt to make a sticky dough. Set dough aside.
- Fill a large pot about half full of lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Ladle large spoonfuls of the sticky dough to a small cutting board and use a knife to chop the dough into tablespoon-size pieces; as you cut off a piece, drop it into the boiling water. Let the dumplings boil over medium heat until they float, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove dumplings with a slotted spoon to a large serving bowl.
- Sprinkle bacon crumbles and a handful of shredded brick cheese over each batch of dumplings; continue to make, boil, and transfer dumplings to the bowl, sprinkling each batch with bacon and brick cheese. When all dumplings are made, gently stir the haluski to mix all ingredients.

SLOVAK HALUSKI
Often used during Lent, this meatless recipe has been passed down generation to generation in my family. This recipe makes a generous amount, which is great because Haluski tastes even better the second day. My Bubba (grandmother) made potato dumpling noodles to go with her cabbage. Also great served with any fish!

Tips:
- For a chewier halushki, use a higher ratio of flour to water in the dough.
- If you don't have a potato ricer, you can grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater.
- Be sure to drain the potatoes well before adding them to the dough, or the halushki will be too wet.
- If you're using a cast iron skillet, be sure to preheat it over medium-high heat before adding the halushki. This will help prevent the halushki from sticking.
- Serve halushki immediately, or it will start to get mushy.
Conclusion:
Halushki is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it's also a budget-friendly meal. With its simple ingredients and quick preparation time, halushki is sure to become a family favorite.
