HUNGARIAN PORK AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Rub the pork all over with 2 teaspoons paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning until browned, 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center reaches 145 degrees F, about 18 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe the pot clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 minutes. Stir in the cabbage, onion, the remaining 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Add the broth and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low; cover and cook until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar. Increase the heat to medium high; cook until the sauce is reduced, 4 minutes. Add the herbs. Slice the pork; serve with the vegetables. Top with the sour cream and more paprika.

HUNGARIAN PAPRIKA POTATOES (PAPRIKAS KRUMPLI)

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter and olive oil.
• Sauté the onions for 5 minutes.
• Put all of the rest of the ingredients into the pot, just barely covering the potatoes with water.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
• Avoid stirring as much as you can to keep the potatoes from breaking apart.
• Cook for 30 minutes or until tender.

HUNGARIAN POTATO AND EGG CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot, and add enough cold, lightly salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cook until potatoes are just tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch rounds.
• Place a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Add vegetable oil, and heat until shimmering. Add onions, and sauté until soft and almost caramelized, about 25 minutes; lower heat if they begin to brown too quickly.
• Place the eggs in a large pot, and add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel the eggs, and cut into 1/3-inch rounds.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat the inside of a 1 to 1 1/2 quart baking dish with the butter. Arrange a layer of half the potatoes in the dish, then a layer of half the onions, and then a layer of half the eggs. Season with salt and pepper and a light sprinkling of paprika. Spread with half the sour cream. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, onions and eggs, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Spread with remaining sour cream, and sprinkle with paprika.
• Cover the baking dish, and place in the center rack of the oven. Bake for 45 minutes. If desired, serve with a green salad.

HUNGARIAN POTATO AND SAUSAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove sausage to a bowl, leaving behind any butter in the pot.
• Toss onion into the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent and picks up a brown color from the meat juices in the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and paprika; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the paprika.
• Stir in 5 cups chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally so flour does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir in cabbage and cook until it just loses its stiffness, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and bring back to a simmer. Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf, plus a splash of chicken broth if desired. Bring back to a simmer.
• Stir soup and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very soft and tender, about 30 minutes. Add sausage and vinegar and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt.
• Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with sour cream, green onions, and cayenne pepper.
