HUNGARIAN POTATO AND SAUSAGE SOUP
When the going gets tough, the tough make soup! There are certain recipes that comfort the body and soul in a profound way and this hearty potato and sausage soup is in that class. I think you'll agree it's one of the best things you've had in a long time. The savory flavor from smoked sausage and the earthy sweetness from onions and cabbage are balanced perfectly with a splash of vinegar and a bit of sour cream, all brought together by soft and tender potatoes--the only way this gets better is serving it with a nice hunk of buttered, crusty bread.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add sausage and cook and stir until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove sausage to a bowl, leaving behind any butter in the pot.
- Toss onion into the pot with 1 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent and picks up a brown color from the meat juices in the pan, 4 to 5 minutes. Add flour; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add garlic and paprika; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn the paprika.
- Stir in 5 cups chicken broth. Increase heat to high and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally so flour does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Stir in cabbage and cook until it just loses its stiffness, about 2 minutes. Stir in potatoes and bring back to a simmer. Add black pepper, cayenne pepper, and bay leaf, plus a splash of chicken broth if desired. Bring back to a simmer.
- Stir soup and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are very soft and tender, about 30 minutes. Add sausage and vinegar and simmer for 10 minutes. Taste and adjust for salt.
- Remove from heat and ladle into bowls. Garnish with sour cream, green onions, and cayenne pepper.

POTATO DUMPLINGS AND CABBAGE / HUNGARIAN HALUSKA
My Grandmother used to make this frequently. My Dad was reminiscing and I made this for his Birthday recently. It is comfort food to the Max!

Steps:
- 1. For the cabbage: shred the cabbage very fine. I use my food processor with the shredder attachment. If you prefer, you can just dice, slice, how ever you like.
- 2. Add oil to a large frying pan. Add the butter. Get pan heated through, and add your shredded cabbage and onion. You will want to saute the cabbage and onion until it browns. Having the heat on medium, as you do not want to burn it, only allow it to brown. (Dad said I could brown mine a bit more, as you can see in the pictures. Next time I will give it a bit more time to brown.) It caramelizes and packs maximum flavor! IF YOU ARE USING COTTAGE CHEESE: Omit the cabbge and add 1 pound of cottage cheese to the dumplings, warming it through.
- 3. FOR THE DUMPLINGS: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Combine flour,eggs, salt and pepper,and water. Mix well. Add the shredded potato and mix well. It is a wet dough. Scrape this dough with a spoon into the boiling water. Make sure you dip the spoon into the boiling water. This will prevent the dough from sticking to the spoon. The dumplings will float to the top when they are done.
- 4. Drain the dumplings and add to the caramelized cabbage and onions. Stir to combine and to reheat.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Rub the pork all over with 2 teaspoons paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork and cook, turning until browned, 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet. Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center reaches 145 degrees F, about 18 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, wipe the pot clean and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 4 minutes. Stir in the cabbage, onion, the remaining 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts slightly, about 4 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium high; cook until the sauce is reduced, 4 minutes. Add the herbs. Slice the pork; serve with the vegetables. Top with the sour cream and more paprika.

Tips:
- Use a variety of cabbage. Green cabbage, red cabbage, and savoy cabbage all work well in this dish. You can also use a combination of different types of cabbage.
- Slice the cabbage thinly. This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
- Don't overcook the cabbage. It should be tender but still have a bit of a crunch.
- Use good quality potatoes. Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Gold or Red Bliss, hold their shape well and won't get mushy when cooked.
- Peel and cube the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the potatoes. They need space to brown and crisp.
- Season the cabbage and potatoes generously. Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good options.
- Add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice. This will help to brighten the flavors of the dish.
- Serve the cabbage and potatoes hot, topped with fresh parsley or dill.
