POTATO DUMPLINGS AND CABBAGE / HUNGARIAN HALUSKA



Potato Dumplings and Cabbage / Hungarian Haluska image

My Grandmother used to make this frequently. My Dad was reminiscing and I made this for his Birthday recently. It is comfort food to the Max! Very inexpensive to make, filling, and even those who do not like cabbage love it. Traditional Huluska can also be made with cottage cheese instead of cabbage. I have to make it again for...

Number Of Ingredients 12

FOR THE CABBAGE
1 small head of cabbage
oil to coat bottom of large frying pan
2 Tbsp butter
1 onion, chopped
salt and pepper to taste
FOR THE POTATO DUMPLINGS (YOU MIGHT WANT TO DOUBLE THIS)
3 eggs
2 c all purpose flour
1/2 c water
1 peeled, boiled and shredded baking potato (can use left over mashed potato, about 3/4 cups)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. For the cabbage: shred the cabbage very fine. I use my food processor with the shredder attachment. If you prefer, you can just dice, slice, how ever you like.
  • 2. Add oil to a large frying pan. Add the butter. Get pan heated through, and add your shredded cabbage and onion. You will want to saute the cabbage and onion until it browns. Having the heat on medium, as you do not want to burn it, only allow it to brown. (Dad said I could brown mine a bit more, as you can see in the pictures. Next time I will give it a bit more time to brown.) It caramelizes and packs maximum flavor! IF YOU ARE USING COTTAGE CHEESE: Omit the cabbge and add 1 pound of cottage cheese to the dumplings, warming it through.
  • 3. FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Combine flour,eggs, salt and pepper,and water. Mix well. Add the shredded potato and mix well. It is a wet dough. Scrape this dough with a spoon into the boiling water. Make sure you dip the spoon into the boiling water. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the spoon. The dumplings will float to the top when they are done.
  • 4. Drain the dumplings and add to the caramelized cabbage and onions. Stir to combine and to reheat.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
2 tablespoons freshly rendered lard or 2 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup milk
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
4 quarts water

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer, blend the eggs, lard or oil, water, and milk.
  • Stir the flour together with 1/2 t of the salt and the baking powder in a dry bowl.
  • Blend this mixture into the liquid. Mix well and set aside for a moment.
  • Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil and add 2 teaspoons of salt.
  • Using a Spaetzle maker or Spaetzle press, squeeze the dough into the boiling water. Use about 1/3 of the dough for each batch. When the dumplings float to the surface, they are done.
  • Remove them with a slotted spoon and place in a colander. They can be served this way with Paprika Gravy or pan-fried with a little butter, just until they are a bit golden, and topped with parsley.
  • NOTE: These dumplings can also be made by using a piping bag or dropping very small amounts from a spoon. The latter takes much much longer.

TRADITIONAL SLOVAK HALUSKI



Traditional Slovak Haluski image

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.

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound bacon
4 small potatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
½ teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
2 cups shredded Wisconsin brick cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choices for haluska, as they have a high starch content that helps the dumplings hold their shape.
  • Grate the potatoes finely: This will help the dumplings cook evenly.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the dumplings tough.
  • Cook the dumplings in boiling water: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you overcrowd the pot, the dumplings will not cook evenly.
  • Serve the haluska immediately: Haluska is best served immediately after it is cooked.

Conclusion:

Haluska is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover potatoes. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, haluska is a perfect dish for any home cook.
