Hungarian potato pottage

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Potato is one of the world's most versatile starch sources. In this dish, we respect the ultimate 'comfort food': soft potato cubes in a silky, bay leaf sauce. Good pottage is not gloopy, but creamy, created by the balance of starch boiling out of the potato and the sour cream thickening.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel potatoes and cut into uniform cubes. Chop onion finely.

Tip: Uniform size ensures every piece softens at the same time.
2 ✓

Sauté onion in oil, remove from heat, stir in paprika, then add potatoes and bay leaves.

Tip: Paprika base gives the pottage beautiful colour and base flavour.
3 ✓

Pour over just enough water to cover. Salt, and cook covered until soft (approx. 15-20 minutes).

Tip: Don't pour too much water or the pottage will be thin, or need too much thickening.
4 ✓

Mix sour cream with flour and a ladle of hot cooking liquid until lump-free.

Tip: Tempering (adding hot liquid to cold sour cream) prevents sour cream curdling.
5 ✓

Pour thickening into potatoes, and boil for a few minutes stirring gently until thickened.

Tip: Boiling eliminates raw flour taste.

Recipe FAQ

The potato fell apart, why?
You probably used 'Type C' (floury) potatoes, meant for mash. For pottage, 'Type B' (general purpose) or 'Type A' (salad) potatoes are best as they hold their shape.
What makes it truly delicious?
Besides bay leaf, a little vinegar at the end highlights flavours and counteracts starchy heaviness.
