Haluski is a traditional Slavic dish, usually made in the fall when potatoes and cabbages are available fresh from the garden. This dish represents a northern climate garden planting. Cabbages and potatoes, being cold hardy, are harvested well into the fall months in spite of the cooling temperatures of the northern climates.
