directions

  • boil, peel, and grate a large starchy potatoe.
  • Combine with flour, egg, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drop by 1/2 teaspoon into a large pot of boiling water.
  • Dumplings are done when they float.
  • Remove from pot and drain well.
  • Empty water from pot and return dumplings to it.
  • Sprinkle dumplings with dill weed then combine with cottage cheese (I prefer small curd but either works).
  • Re-warm dish to eating temperature (cottage cheese will reduce temperature) and serve.
  • Alternatively combine with boiled cabbage instead of cottage cheese (also very tasty).

  1. My mother used dry cottage cheese and sauteed onions with her haluski dumplings. Has anybody tried that?

  1. This is ultimate comfort food. I made a full recipe, and served half of the dumplings with sauteed cabbage and onions the first day. Dumplings the next day were sauteed in butter to reheat, and cottage cheese was added. This tastes like my home made peirogi without all the work. Thanks for sharing a great recipe, Mark! Made and enjoyed for PAC Spring '09.
     
  2. This recipe is very similar to how my family makes dumplings for chicken soup. Wonderful dumplings and enjoyed them with small curd cottage cheese, a definite keeper! (Made and reviewed for Pick A Chef 2007)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born in Detroit, Michigan and moved to Miami, Florida in 1976. I moved to Franklin, NC at the beginning of 2005 and back to Detroit 12 years later. My "fun" interests include reading (science fiction mostly), movies and television (again, I love sci fi), cooking (and eating it, but need to go on a diet (LOL), collecting 60's music, and watching my children grow. My all time favorite cookbook is the Betty Crocker Home cookbook. I have a great Hungarian cookbook that has all the recipes that I remember from my childhood being prepared by my Grandparents and my Mother.
