Halousky is a traditional Hungarian dish that is enjoyed all year round in Central and Eastern Europe. This dish is made with grated boiled potatoes, beaten eggs, potato flour or all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, and dill weed. The dough is then rolled out into thin long ropes and cut into small rounds. These rounds are boiled in lightly salted water until they float to the surface. The halousky is then drained and mixed with low-fat cottage cheese or boiled cabbage. This hearty and satisfying dish is perfect for any occasion, whether it is a family dinner or a potluck party.

Instructions

1.	In a medium bowl, mix together grated potato, beaten eggs, potato flour, salt, pepper, and dill weed.
2.	Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, but not sticky, adding a small amount of flour if necessary.
3.	Roll the dough out into thin long ropes, about ½ inch in diameter, and cut into small rounds.
4.	In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil.
5.	Add halousky and boil until they float to the surface, about 3-5 minutes.
6.	Drain halousky, add low fat cottage cheese or boiled cabbage, stir well and serve hot.
