Potato Paprikash with Beans and Sausage | Homestyle Autumn One-Pot

Peel, wash, and cut the potatoes into approximately 2.5–3 cm cubes. Slice the smoked sausage into about 0.5 cm rounds, and finely dice the Kolozsvári bacon. Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic. Core and slice the wax pepper, and finely dice the tomato. Rinse the canned white beans in a colander under running water, then drain thoroughly.

In a large pot over medium heat, render the diced Kolozsvári bacon together with the lard until the bacon bits turn nicely crispy and release their fat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and fry for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant, then transfer the sausage slices and crispy bacon bits to a small bowl.

In the remaining hot fat, sauté the finely chopped onion until translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Stir in the chopped wax pepper, tomato, and crushed garlic, then sauté for another 2–3 minutes until you get a juicy stew base.
