Ingredients
- 2 lbs potatoes
- 2 medium onions
- 1 red bell pepper or large sweet pointed pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons sweet paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon marjoram
- ½ - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 4 long sausages Note 1
- 1 tablespoon sour cream heaped + more to serve, optional
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch optional
- fresh chives or parsley
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Peel, wash and chop the potatoes into chunks. Finely chop the onions and cut the red pepper into thin strips or small cubes.2 lbs potatoes + 2 medium onions + 1 red bell pepper
- Sauté the onions: Heat the oil in a pot over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a small pinch of salt, then cook until lightly golden, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in the sweet and smoked paprika and cook for another minute.2 tablespoons vegetable oil + 2 teaspoons sweet paprika powder + ½ teaspoon sweet smoked paprika powder
- Add the vegetables and spices: Stir in the potatoes, peppers, and the remaining spices, ensuring everything is well coated.½ teaspoon marjoram + ½ - 1 teaspoon fine sea salt + ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Simmer the goulash: Pour in the stock, stir again, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cover the pot but leave a small gap. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the potatoes are almost tender.3 cups chicken stock
- Add the sausages: Stir in the chopped sausages and cook uncovered for another 5-10 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the sausages are heated through.4 long sausages
- Thicken the goulash (optional): If you’d like a thicker sauce, mix cornstarch with 1-2 tablespoons of cold water, then slowly stir this slurry into the goulash. Let it bubble for a couple of minutes until slightly thickened.2 teaspoons cornstarch
- Adjust the taste: Stir in the sour cream. Adjust the taste with a bit of balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with chopped herbs. 1 tablespoon sour cream + fresh chives
Notes
- Sausages: I use fresh or vacuum-sealed Wiener or Frankfurters, never the ones from a jar - they're too soft and mushy for goulash. You can also make this sausage stew with smoked sausages like Kielbasa or Cabanossi.
- Thickening the goulash is optional. If it's too soupy, you can stir in a little cornstarch slurry or simply leave it as is and mash the potatoes slightly on your plate to mix them with the sauce.
- Serving suggestions: Serve the sausage goulash with fresh crusty bread, pickled cucumbers or other pickled vegetables and more sour cream.
