Poor Man's Food (Krumpli Fozelek) - submitted at Darwin Fringe Festival, August 2009

This is a recipe my husband cooks really well - 'peasant food' from Hungary but so delicious.

  1. Chop onions and fry with garlic in oil until golden brown
  2. Add peeled and cut potatos (cut like you would wedges)
  3. Add lots of paprika ( & chilli if you wish)
  4. Barely cover with water
  5. Add salt
  6. Cook gently till potatos are cooked  (use a variety that are a bit mushy when they cook
  7. Serve with sausages, fried egg, or anything that goes with potatos

Even better after 1-2 days in the fridge!

A word about paprika. Don't add to hot oil - it burns esily and then tastes bitter (take you onions off the heat, let them cool a little then add paprika). A lot of paprika means your dish should be quite red at the end. Smoked paprika (from Spain) is really good with this - interestingly they don't use it in Hungary. If you want to be really happy, slice Kolbasi (smoked Hungarian sausage) into the potatos and heat through.
