Swabian potato noodles

by | Aug 2, 2024 | Noodles

Swabian potato noodles, known as “sváb krumplis tészta” in Hungarian, are a delightful blend of rustic flavors and comforting textures, showcasing the rich culinary traditions of the Swabian community in Hungary. This hearty dish, featuring tender potatoes, savory paprika sauce, and soft homemade noodles, embodies the essence of home-cooked goodness.

The preparation begins with a robust paprika sauce, enhanced by the depth of sautéed onions and garlic. Meanwhile, diced potatoes are cooked until tender and seamlessly integrated into the sauce, allowing them to absorb the rich flavors. The noodles, made from a simple batter of flour, eggs, and water, are cooked to perfection in the starchy potato broth. Served with tangy pickles, Swabian potato noodles offer a perfect balance of savory and tart, making it a beloved comfort food.

Hungarian cottage cheese

This is what Hungarian túró looks like

You often ask me what kind of cottage cheese (or curd cheese or farmer's cheese - call it what you want) I use in the recipes. In Hungary the store-bought cottage cheese is dry and crumbly as you can see in the picture. So if a recipe calls for túró, I mean this type. If you can't obtain túró, you can try to make your own from whole milk. Click on the link below.

Metric system vs cup

In Hungary metric units are in use, all the recipes on this website are based on this system, so a kitchen scale is necessary. Since I’m not familiar with cup as a measurement unit, I convert grams to cups by using an online converter. The values in brackets, therefore, are only approximate volumes, so, please, double-check them before you start cooking.
