'''Hauskyjza''' ([[Silesian language|Silesian]]: ''home cheese'' from the [[German language|German]] ''Hauskäse'') is a foodstuff made of [[cottage cheese]], [[carum]] and other ingredients, which are mixed, put aside for a few days to acquire the characteristic sharp flavor, scent and tacky consistency, and then warmed and fried.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Polskie mleczne produkty tradycyjne |url=https://www.forummleczarskie.pl/raporty/366,polskie-mleczne-produkty-tradycyjne |access-date=2023-02-07 |website=www.forummleczarskie.pl}}</ref> Often baking soda is used to condition the cottage cheese. Hauskyjza or Ser Smazony (fried cheese)  or Ser Zgliwiały (rottened cheese) is a traditional product in the regions of [[Greater Poland]], [[Pomerania]], [[Kuyavia]], [[Subcarpathia (disambiguation)|Subcarpathia]] and [[Silesia]]. Before [[refrigerator]]s were widely available, it was valued because of its high fastness.

Haukyjza has an exceptionally strong scent and flavor, pleasurable to many aficionados, but found offensive by some people. (In numerous Silesian jokes, the flavor is compared to that of long-unwashed socks.)  Most traditionally, it is served with dark bread and carway or with "music," chopped onions soaked in vinegar and oil. Some people prefer it freshly made as a type of [[fondue]].

Hauskyjza has been traditionally made at home, hence the name. Currently, it is also produced commercially.

In 2005, it was registered on a ''List of Traditional Products'' ([[Polish language|pol.]] ''Lista Produktów Tradycyjnych'') of [[Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Poland|Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development]] as ''Ser domowy smażony z kminkiem, z czosnkiem, bez przypraw'' (''home-made fried cheese with carum, with garlic, without spices'').<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.minrol.gov.pl/index.php?/pol/Jakosc-zywnosci/Produkty-regionalne-i-tradycyjne/Lista-produktow-tradycyjnych/woj.-opolskie/Ser-domowy-smazony-z-kminkiem-z-czosnkiem-bez-przypraw|title= Ser domowy smażony z kminkiem, z czosnkiem, bez przypraw|date= 2005-10-10|publisher= Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Republic of Poland|language= pl|access-date= 2 June 2010|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20160303181124/http://www.minrol.gov.pl/index.php?%2Fpol%2FJakosc-zywnosci%2FProdukty-regionalne-i-tradycyjne%2FLista-produktow-tradycyjnych%2Fwoj.-opolskie%2FSer-domowy-smazony-z-kminkiem-z-czosnkiem-bez-przypraw|archive-date= 3 March 2016|url-status= dead}}</ref>
