I made this just as written and very much enjoyed the potatoes. Just perfect.

Being Hungarian, I grew up with this dish, I would boil my potatoes a bit before adding to the onion paprika mixture, otherwise you would have to add too much butter to keep from sticking, and too much water, so that the potatoes would have to cook somehow.

I was doubtful--didn't seem like enough butter and I wondered about the water--Thank goodness I followed directions--DELICIOUS! Thanks, Dee.

One other idea for this dish is to add a really flavorful kielbassa. In Hungary they often add sliced hotdogs also.

These potatoes are very very good. I am lucky to have a great Hungarian grocery store to purchase my paprika which I think makes all the difference in the world. This was a real treat for us. Thanks again, dienia bennett.
