Could you make this the day before and just warm it up the day of the event?

While it's true that this is not a "traditional Haluski" recipe, it certainly lends itself well to preparing this dish for a crowd, and also holds up well for extended warming for parties, buffets, etc. I like it's simplicity. Pairs up nicely with breaded pork chops. I like to think of it as a "simplified version of traditional Haluski":) BTW, I also add ground black pepper and have used margarine instead of butter with excellent results. Thanks for sharing! ~Manda

this is not traditional haluski. Haluski is a czech/polish meal comprising of very small dumplings, almost like gnocchi which is made by pushing a potato dough through a halushki maker which looks like a colander with big holes. It is then commonly served with either cheese, onion, or bacon stirred through.
