Goulash with Smoked Sausage and Potatoes

Ingredients

• 14-16 ounces smoked sausage sliced
• 3 garlic cloves minced or pressed through garlic press
• 1 tbs Olive oil
• 1 onion thinly sliced
• 2 tbs butter
• 1 ½ tsp paprika
• ¾ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
• 1.5 to 2 pounds medium-size red skin potatoes peeled and sliced into 1/2 inch thick circles
• 1 ½ cup chicken stock
• Salt to taste
• ⅓ cup parsley chopped

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tbs of oil in a large deep skillet. Once the oil is hot, add in the smoked sausage medallions and brown them for a few minutes until they become a deep brown color. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside. 
2. To the same pan  add in the butter, and allow it to melt; add in the onions, and caramelize those in the butter and sausage drippings, about 5-7 minutes. Now add in the freshly cracked black pepper, the garlic, a couple of pinches of saltand the paprika, and stir to combine with the onions. Saute for two more minutes. 
3. Next, add in chicken stock, the sliced potatoes and parsley, then stir to combine. Cover the pan with a lid that and simmer on medium-low heat for about 15 minutes. Then, uncover and allow the potatoes to continue to simmer for 10  more minutes, or until they are tender and the sauce a bit thickened, stirring once or twice during that time. 
4. Finally add the smoked sausage back into the pan, and add a couple more pinches of salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve hot
