New Potato Paprikash with Fermented Cucumbers

For a large jar, count 2.5 kg of cucumbers, to this add 2-3 tablespoons of table salt, 4-8 cloves of garlic, a good bunch of dill, 10-15 black peppercorns, and a slice of sourdough bread or baguette.

For the potato paprikash, fry the bacon and smoked sausage, then sauté the chopped onion and crushed garlic in their rendered fat. Add the chopped bell pepper and tomatoes, and prepare a stew base. Season to taste and add the potatoes cut in half or quarters.

Toss with the stew sauce, sprinkle with paprika powder, and after a minute, pour in enough broth to just cover it.
