Potato paprikash with green peas

by | Sep 26, 2025 | Vegetable dishes

Potato paprikash with green peas is a dish that feels like home cooking at its best – simple ingredients turning into something hearty and full of flavor. It’s the kind of recipe you don’t need to overthink: a pot, a handful of vegetables, some paprika and a little time on the stove.

What makes this version special is the mix of potatoes and green peas, all brought together with paprika, sausage and frankfurters. And just before it’s ready, small nokedli dumplings are cooked right in the pot, giving the dish more body and making it a real one-pot meal.

It’s easy, budget-friendly and perfect for when you want to put something wholesome and filling on the table without too much fuss. Serve it hot with pickles, and you’ve got a true Hungarian classic.

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.
