Krumpli Paprikas (cooking with staples)

676 views

Yesterday, I didn’t feel like making a big meal, so I turned to one of the good old standbys- paprika potatoes

This is a Hungarian Recipe that I learned many years ago from my (then) mother-in-law.

You start with your onions:

Sauté onions and garlic in lard or bacon grease or oil …
Add some kielbasa or sausage or leftover meat, if you’d like
Add chunks of potato (“krumpli”)
Just barely cover with water
Stir in seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic
And 3 tbsp of paprika (I used my freeze-dried, home-grown paprika peppers)
Bring to a boil and then slow cook until the water is almost gone and you have a thick sauce on the potatoes
I could have sprinkled in some freeze-dried kale to enhance the nutrition
Serve it up
Of course, you can add a dollop of sour cream on top.

Frugal Living includes cooking with staples, using potatoes, for example, as the base of the meal.
