New potatoes with spicy sausage, pan-fried

New potatoes with spicy sausage are usually served at picnics, next to grilled beef. The potatoes are boiled first, then browned in the pan with the sausage, and the oil takes on the spicy taste of the Szeged sausage. I leave them whole, since they are so small, and put them straight from the pan onto a large plate. Preparation: 20 minutes. Cooking: 31 minutes. Total time: 51 minutes. Servings: 6. About 590 kcal and 17 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 2 kg very small new potatoes
- 2000 ml water
- 1 teaspoon fine salt
- 30 g green parsley
- 250 g dried spicy Szeged-style Hungarian sausage
- 100 ml sunflower oil
- 1 hot pepper (30 g)
- 1 green onion (40 g)
Preparation
1. Scrub the potatoes with a plastic dish sponge that you use only for this, then rinse them well. 2. Bring 2000 ml water to the boil with 1 teaspoon fine salt. When it boils, add the potatoes and half the parsley (15 g) and let them boil. 3. Meanwhile, clean and wash the hot pepper and the green onion. 4. Cut the sausage into thin rounds. Put 100 ml oil in a large pan over medium heat and fry the sausage rounds for 2-3 minutes, just long enough for them to take on the colour and flavour of the oil. 5. After 18 minutes of boiling, when a knife slides easily into a potato, drain the potatoes from the hot water. 6. Add the drained potatoes to the pan with the sausage. Fry them for 10 minutes over medium heat, stirring from time to time, until they brown at the edges. Don't rush them. 7. Finely chop the remaining 15 g parsley, mix it with the potatoes, then take the pan off the heat. 8. Cut the hot pepper and the green onion into rounds. Serve the potatoes topped with pepper rounds, parsley and green onion rounds.
Notes
Small potatoes boil for 18 minutes, but cut the larger ones in halves, otherwise they stay hard in the middle. The sausage is easier to slice into thin rounds if it is cold, straight from the fridge. The dish keeps for up to 3 days in the fridge, and the next day you reheat it in the pan, not in the microwave. As a variation, you can use chorizo or any other dried, spicy sausage, and if you add more sausage, the side dish becomes a main course. Serve it next to grilled beef, the way it is done at picnics.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use old potatoes instead of new ones?
Yes, but older potatoes have thick skin and are more floury, so they are peeled with a knife. Cut them into 3 cm pieces and boil them for the same 18 minutes, until a knife slides in easily.
What can I use instead of the hot pepper?
A 30 g hot red chili can be replaced with 1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes, added to the oil with the sausage.
Can I make it with fresh sausage?
Not really. Fresh sausage has to be cooked through, it doesn't slice neatly into rounds, and it doesn't give its flavour to the oil the way dried sausage does, which is already ready to eat.
What do I do if the sausage rounds burn in the pan?
Over medium heat they brown in 2-3 minutes. If the pan is too hot, take it off the heat and add the potatoes only after the sausage has released its fat.
