Hungarian Smoked Sausage and Potatoes Stew🇭🇺

---

Instructions:

1. Base flavor:
   • Heat lard/oil in a large pot. Add onions and cook until golden.
   • Stir in garlic and paprika (remove from heat briefly to avoid burning paprika).
2. Build the stew:
   • Add sausage slices, bell pepper, and tomato. Stir for 2–3 minutes.
   • Add potatoes, broth, bay leaf, caraway, salt & pepper.
3. Simmer:
   • Bring to a boil, then reduce to low. Simmer about 30–40 minutes, until potatoes are tender and flavors meld.
4. Finish & serve:
   • Taste and adjust seasoning.
   • Garnish with parsley.

👉 This stew is simple, rustic, and filling — exactly the kind of dish Hungarian grandmothers would cook for a family dinner.

Would you like me to also give you the oven-baked version (krumpli rakottas with sausage), which is like a layered casserole?
