Making Halusky at home is quite simple! Here’s a quick recipe:
- Boil peeled potatoes until soft, then mash them.
- Add flour and salt, mixing until you form a dough.
- Using a grater or a colander, push the dough into boiling salted water to form small dumplings.
- Once they float, they’re done! Serve with a topping of sheep cheese and crispy bacon.

I'm glad to hear your Halusky turned out well! They pair wonderfully with:
- Roasted Meat: Pork or chicken often complement the flavors.
- Vegetables: Sautéed or pickled vegetables can add a nice contrast.
