This is a traditional Polish dish made with fried cabbage and egg noodles. The meal derives from a Slovak potato dumpling dish served with sheep’s cheese called bryndzové halušky. Eaten throughout Central and Eastern European cuisine, haluski may refer to the dish itself or just the dumplings. Haluski is often eaten in the United States during the religious season of Lent and is known as comfort food.
