Peel and dice the russet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add 1 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 8-10 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
While the potatoes are boiling, peel and dice the carrots into small pieces. Finely chop the onion. Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and carrots, and sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened.
Stir in the frozen peas and corn, and cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
Add the drained potatoes to the skillet. Gently stir to combine so the potatoes don't break apart.
Season the mixture with smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and an additional pinch of salt to taste.
Pour in the vegetable broth, and cook for 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld together. The broth should mostly evaporate, leaving a light glaze on the vegetables.
Chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the finished dish for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite German main course.
