A Few Notes

Take the pan off the heat before adding the paprika.

Cut the potatoes into even chunks.

Mash a few potatoes to thicken the stew further.

Leave out the sausage for a vegetarian dish.

Changing the Recipe

  • An eighth of a teaspoon of garlic powder per clove is the stand-in usually given when you are out of fresh garlic; it will not brown the same way, and it burns easily, so add it with the liquid.

Keeping What's Left

Keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Add water when reheating.
