Halušky (pronounced /ɦaluʃki/) or galuska/nokedli in Hungarian is a traditional meal in both Slovakia and Hungary.

Although recipes vary from region to region, in general potatoes are finely grated and mixed with flour, salt and optionally a small amount of egg to form a thin dough. The dough is passed through a special perforated instrument into boiling water. Traditionally no special instrument was used to form halušky. Instead, dough was placed in a thin layer on a wooden cutting board and cut off in even pieces (using a knife) and cast directly into boiling water. Halušky should be 1/2 cm in diameter and 2-3 cm in length. Halušky are eaten with various ingredients.

Bryndzové halušky is a typical Slovak traditional dish.

In Hungary, galuska are often eaten with Chicken paprikash (Csirkepaprikás).
