Halushky is as iconic as a Ukrainian dish can be, and these filled dumplings are no exception. Halushky was first mentioned in the 17th century and has since become a staple comfort food enjoyed by families throughout Ukraine and its neighboring countries. Authentic Halushky dough is made with grated potatoes, eggs, flour, and salt, making it a hearty and filling base for any filling of your choice. These dumplings are most commonly filled with cottage cheese, but farmers cheese, sauerkraut, bacon, or mushrooms can also be used. Halushky can be served as a stand-alone dish or accompanied by fresh-sliced bread, and should be eaten with much gusto and plenty of sour cream.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, mashed potatoes, beaten egg, grated onion, salt, and black pepper.
2.Stir in the flour and baking powder until the mixture forms a dough.
3.In a separate bowl, mix the cottage cheese, beaten egg, and salt.
4.Divide the dough into 4 pieces, and on a floured surface, roll out each piece into a thin circle.
5.Cut the circles into 2-inch squares and place a small amount of the cheese filling on each square.
6.Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges to seal.
7.Boil a large pot of salted water and carefully place the dumplings in it.
8.Cook for 5-7 minutes or until the dumplings float to the surface.
9.Serve hot topped with butter or sour cream.
