Salad - Sour Potato Stew by Olimpia N. - Recipia

Potato stew is one of those dishes that reminds us of childhood, of the warm smell of our grandparents' house, and of the moments spent around the table. It is a simple recipe, yet full of flavor, that holds a special place in the hearts of many. In the Transylvanian version, this stew is a true feast, with special basic ingredients that blend perfectly. To prepare this delicacy, start by peeling 1 kg of potatoes, which you will slice into rounds about 0.75 mm thick. In a large skillet, pour in a tablespoon of sunflower oil or, if you want to stick to tradition, a tablespoon of lard. When the fat is well heated, add a large onion, finely chopped, and sauté it until it becomes translucent. This is the moment when the aroma of the onion will fill the kitchen, reminding you of times gone by. After the onion is sautéed, sprinkle in a tablespoon of wheat flour and mix quickly, sautéing the flour for a few seconds. Then, pour in about 500 ml of cold water, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Once the sauce has thickened, add the sliced potatoes, two bay leaves, and cover the skillet. Wait until it starts to boil, then reduce the heat to the minimum and let the stew cook slowly. It is important not to stir too often, to avoid breaking the potato rounds. After about an hour, check if the potatoes are cooked. When they are ready, add a tablespoon of vinegar and 3-4 tablespoons of sour cream, adjusting the salt to taste. Let the stew simmer for another 5-10 minutes, so the flavors blend perfectly. Parsley leaves can be added at the end, either in the stew or on the side, to keep their freshness. This potato stew can be served as a main dish, but it is also an excellent accompaniment to traditional pork stew or pig's feast, especially in the cold season. It is a dish that brings warmth and comfort, keeping alive the memory of grandparents and festive meals. Whether you prepare it for a special occasion or simply to indulge yourself, potato stew remains a symbol of joy and Romanian culinary tradition. Enjoy it with gusto!
