Description

These beautifully colorful Hungarian-style red potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to a variety of proteins – roasted herb chicken, or even a light, flakey fish. This very simple and tasty potato side dish has only handful of ingredients and is a quick cook. Put a new twist on a great staple!

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Onion, Peeled And Sliced Into 1/4" Thick Half-circles
  • 12 whole Red Potatoes (medium Size), Peeled And Sliced Into 1/2" Thick Circles
  • 1-½ Tablespoon Hungarian Paprika
  • ½ teaspoons Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 2-½ cups Chicken Stock, Hot
  • 2 Tablespoons All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Water
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Flat-leaf Parsley, Chopped

Preparation

1)In a medium-large pot (preferably non-stick) set over medium heat, add the butter and the olive oil to gently melt; next add the sliced onion, stir, and allow to slightly turn golden-brown, about 3 minutes; next add the peeled and sliced potatoes, and gently fold together with the onions and the butter/oil in the pot.
2)Add the Hungarian Paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper, and again, stir to incorporate together. Add the hot chicken stock (it should come about 3/4 of the way up the potatoes), gently stir, and allow to lightly simmer for about 20 minutes, uncovered, until potatoes are tender but not falling apart. (Stir gently a few times during cooking to avoid potatoes sticking to bottom of pot, trying not to break-up the potatoes.)
3)Once the potatoes are tender, you will see that some of the stock has evaporated, but this “gravy” may be a bit on the ‘thin’ side. In a small dish, mix together the flour and water, and using a fork or small whisk, combine until completely smooth and lump-free (this is called a “slurry” and will thicken the gravy without adding lumps); slowly add the slurry to the potatoes and quickly stir to blend in and thicken; allow to cook for a minute or two more, on low heat.
4)Add the lemon juice, stir, and turn off heat; check the salt/pepper and adjust, if necessary.
5)Divide equally among four plates, and garnish with a pinch of the chopped parsley. Enjoy!

This recipe added zing to my regular supper time routine, but also proved to be comfort food too! A perfect balance in my opinion : )

These were just as I expected them to be: flavorful, saucy, and AWESOME! They are simple and easy to make, quick (for potatoes), and like the author said, great with anything. They are something new and different if you’re tired of the same ol’ thing, but very homey, too.
