I usually make this recipe when I want something simple and without too much hassle. If I have potatoes and homemade sausages, I know for sure that in an hour I can put something substantial on the table without complicating myself too much. Everything is made with basic ingredients that I almost always have on hand. Plus, I like to use pickled peppers on the side for that slightly tangy taste that cuts through the fat of the sausages. Quick Info Total time: about 1 hour Preparation time: 10-15 minutes Cooking time: 40-45 minutes Servings: 4 Difficulty: easy Recipe type: main course, traditional food Ingredients 1 kg potatoes 1 onion 150 ml oil 200 g homemade sausages salt pepper hot paprika rosemary Preparation method 1. Peel the potatoes, wash them, and cut them into suitable pieces. The shape doesn't matter too much, but I usually cut them into not too small cubes so they don't crumble when boiled. 2. Put the potatoes to boil in a pot with cold water and salt. Let them boil until they are almost done, meaning a fork should go in easily, but they shouldn't be too soft. Drain them and set aside for a bit. 3. While the potatoes are boiling, cut the sausages into suitable pieces (usually slices about 1-2 fingers thick). Fry them quickly in a pan with a little oil, just enough to brown them slightly. Don't dry them out too much, as they will also cook with the potatoes at the end. Remove them to a plate. 4. In the same pan, add the rest of the oil and sauté the finely chopped onion. Stir constantly to prevent burning; you just want it to become soft and translucent. 5. When the onion is ready, add the boiled and drained potatoes directly into the pan. Gently mix to avoid crushing the potatoes. 6. Sprinkle salt, hot paprika, and rosemary to taste. Gently mix so that the potatoes are well-coated with the spices. 7. Let it cook over medium heat for 5-10 minutes to blend all the flavors and give the potatoes a little color. Stir occasionally. 8. Finally, add the fried sausages. Mix and let it cook on low heat for another 2-3 minutes, just enough to warm everything up. 9. Serve warm, with pickled peppers on the side. It doesn't need anything else. Why I make this recipe often It's a recipe you can make with what you have on hand; it doesn't require complicated ingredients or techniques. It prepares quite quickly, and I can easily adjust the quantities if I have more or fewer people at the table. I often make it because it fits well when I want a filling meal without spending hours in the kitchen. Tips and variations Tips Don't boil the potatoes too much so they don't crumble when you mix them at the end. If you have fattier sausages, you can use less oil for sautéing. When sautéing the onion, don't rush the heat – if it burns, it changes the whole taste. Substitutions You can use any type of sausage you have on hand; it doesn't have to be homemade, but the taste is different. If you don't have hot paprika, sweet paprika works too, but it won't be as spicy. Variations You can add minced garlic when sautéing the onion if you like. If you have fresh herbs (parsley or dill), you can sprinkle them at the end. Serving ideas They go best with pickled peppers or pickles. Sometimes, for lunch, I also add a simple salad of cabbage or cucumbers. It can be served as a main course; you don't need anything else on the table. Frequently asked questions Do the potatoes have to be a certain variety? Any potato works, but boiling varieties (not too starchy) hold their shape better and don't crumble. Do the sausages have to be homemade? No, but the taste is better with smoked, dried, or semi-dried sausages. You can use another type, just make sure it's not too greasy. Can I use another type of meat? The original recipe is with sausages, but if you don't have them, you can try bacon or ham, but the final taste will be different. Do I have to use rosemary? Rosemary gives a specific aroma, but it's not mandatory. If you don't have it, you can leave it out or use a bit of thyme. Can I prepare the recipe in advance and reheat it? The dish can be reheated, but the potatoes may become softer. I don't recommend keeping it for more than a few days. Nutritional values Estimated per serving (for 4 servings): Calories: 500-600 kcal Protein: 10-15 g Carbohydrates: 50-60 g Fats: 25-30 g Values vary depending on the sausages and how much oil remains in the dish. Storage and reheating The recipe can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 2 days. It can be reheated in a pan or microwave. The texture of the potatoes will change slightly; they become softer, but the taste remains good. I don't recommend freezing it. If you have leftover portions, it's best to consume them within the next two days.
