Heat the oil or lard in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat briefly.
💡 Proffstips: Removing the pan from heat before adding paprika prevents it from burning and becoming bitter. - 2
Sprinkle the Hungarian sweet paprika over the onions and stir quickly. Immediately add the cubed potatoes, salt, and pepper. Pour in the water.
💡 Proffstips: Ensure the paprika is mixed in off the heat to preserve its vibrant color and flavor. - 3
Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a little more water.
💡 Proffstips: Mash the potatoes slightly with a fork or potato masher once tender to help thicken the sauce. - 4
Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a little of the cooking water if desired.
💡 Proffstips: Using broad egg noodles or square pasta shapes works best for this dish. - 5
Add the drained pasta to the pan with the potato mixture. Stir well to combine, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated. If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of the reserved pasta water.
