Potato Goulash with Sausage

Saucy, stewed potatoes with onions and smoked sausage or kielbasa, seasoned with paprika and garlic make this recipe for rustic Hungarian-style potato goulash.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 lb smoked sausage, cut into thick slices
• 2 yellow onions, halved then sliced
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon regular paprika
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2.5 lbs russet potatoes, peeled
• 2 14.5-ounce cans beef broth
• 3 tablespoons butter

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Brown sausage in vegetable oil over medium heat in a 12-inch Dutch oven or heavy pot until nicely browned and crisp around the edges. Remove sausage from oil with a slotted spoon; set aside.
2. 2Add onions to hot oil then sauté for 3 minutes, adding more oil if necessary.
3. 3Add garlic, both paprikas, salt, pepper and thyme then continue cooking for 2 more minutes. Add broth.
4. 4Cut potatoes into thick slices (about 1/2 inch thick) then add to pot with onions.
5. 5Bring potatoes to a boil. Reduce heat to medium then cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes; stirring occasionally. The potatoes may not be submerged in the broth – that’s OK – just move them around enough that they are able to cook evenly.
6. 6Stir in sausage and butter, reduce heat to low then continue cooking, uncovered, until potatoes are tender; stirring occasionally.
7. 7Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired.
