Hungarian paprikas krumpli, a popular homestyle stew dominated by potatoes and paprika, the addition of bacon and hotdog sausages rounds out this simple comforting recipe.
PREPARATION TIME
Ingredients
500g (17oz) Potatoes, I prefer floury or mealy spuds
150g (1 Cup) Onion
1 Medium (100g) Tomato
1 Green Pepper
100g (3-4oz) Bacon Lardons
15g (1 Tbsp) Lard
1 Tbsp Paprika
½-¾ Tsp Salt
½ Tsp Black Pepper
4 Hotdog Sausages
300ml (1¼ Cups) Water
Instructions
Peel and cut the potatoes into a 3-4cm (1½”) dice, when cut put them into a large bowl filled with water.
Cut the onion into a 3-4mm (⅛”) dice.
Cut the tomato into a 5-6mm (¼”) dice.
Remove the stem and deseed the green pepper, then cut it into a 5-6mm (¼”) dice.
Heat a medium (24cm 10″) saucepan over a medium high heat and when it is warm add the lard.
When the lard has melted throw in the bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes until nicely golden.
Add the onion and green pepper and cook for 2 minutes.
Drain the potatoes well and add them to the pan and cook for 10 minutes stirring every few minutes.
Add the diced tomato, salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Sprinkle over the paprika in an even layer, add a lid and turn the heat to low and cook for 10 minutes.
Pour over the water, there should be enough to just cover them, then stir and allow them to simmer for 25-30 minutes.
Heat a griddle pan over a high heat and when it is hot add the hotdog sausages and cook them to get some nice bittersweet griddle marks. You can skip this step if you wish.
Cut the sausages into 1.5cm-2cm (½-¾”) lengths and stir them through the potatoes and cook for a final 5 minutes.
