Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams potatoes
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons hot paprika (optional)
- 250 milliliters vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into evenly sized cubes, about 1-inch in diameter. Set aside.
Finely dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the sweet Hungarian paprika (and hot paprika, if using) over the onions and garlic, and stir well to coat everything in the paprika. Be careful not to burn the paprika.
Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly in the paprika mixture.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pot, ensuring that the liquid comes about halfway up the potatoes. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Simmer the potatoes for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if necessary.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
