Hmm I'm not sure if this was my mistake somewhere but mine turned out with much more liquid resulting in more "mashed" potatoes after all the stirring in of the roux and salt/pepper. When I added the cabbage I even poured some off because I thought it was too much. I actually halved the recipe but when making the roux used the full amount of seasonings and the DH felt like that was right. Next time we will cut the potatoes a bit bigger and use even less water. The caraway seeds were lovely in this!! Thanks for a yummy & quick dinner Little!!! Made for Veg*n Swap 28!

An unusual recipe that delivers on taste! We loved the dry dressing of roux and paprika, and then when it was mixed with crispy cabbage and crunchy potatoes, it actually worked so well. We ate this as an accompaniment with meatloaf and a creamy onion sauce. Made for Paprika as the spice of the month in the French Forum. Merci Little! FT:-)

This was good, filling and I had leftovers (which I always appreciate). I enjoyed the caraway seeds in this dish very much. Served with meatballs. Freshly ground pepper sealed the deal. Reviewed for Spice of the Month: Paprika. Thanks for posting! cg
