Instruction

Prepare goulash

Preparation step 1
Fresh Potatoes
Predominantly waxy potato variety.

Onions

Halve the onions and garlic (this makes peeling easier), then peel and finely dice.

Preparation step 4
Sauté onion for goulash

Preparation step 7
Goulash starter with typical color, season with vegetable broth.

Season goulash

Bring the potato goulash to the boil and season with the broth.

Preparation step 8
lemon zest
Prepare lemon zest or lemon zest

Onion topping

Fried onions

Peel the onions and cut into fine rings.

I sometimes use a plane for this, because then the rings will be even.

Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan to 170°C.

Quickly mix the onion rings with flour and paprika and fry immediately in hot fat until golden brown.

Remove the onions from the fat and place on a plate lined with paper towels.

Season the fried onions with salt.

Herb topping

Preparation step 10
Parsley in the pan while frying.
First fry the parsley in a pan with a little oil.

Fry parsley

Pick off the parsley leaves and fry in hot vegetable oil for a few minutes.

I always put a lid on the pot because the herbs splatter easily when placed in the hot fat.

Place the crispy fried parsley on a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt.

Arrange Goulash

Season the potato goulash again with salt and pepper just before serving.

Serve the goulash in deep plates.

Place a shaped dumpling of crème fraiche on top of the goulash.

Serve the potato goulash decorated with roasted onions and fried parsley.

I wish you a good appetite!

Preparation time tip from chef Thomas Sixt

Creating a typical goulash taste :

Roast the onions until light brown, then add the sweet paprika, tomato paste, cumin, garlic, marjoram and a little lemon zest.

Garlic cubes and lemon zest for goulash
Lemon zest and garlic are important goulash spices.

4. Which Type Of Potato Is Ideal For Potato Goulash?

The better the potatoes, the better the potato goulash.

Which type of potato do you use best for the goulash?

I prefer to use floury potatoes or waxy potatoes .

These types of potatoes give off starch when cooked.

This gives the goulash a good binding and the potatoes also taste delicious.

Use floury or waxy potatoes for the potato goulash!

Ingredients Tip for the best potato variety for goulash from chef Thomas Sixt
Fresh Potatoes
Predominantly waxy potato variety.

5. Fried Onions And Fried Parsley As Topping

The absolute kick in this dish is achieved through the various ingredients and additions.

For the roasted onions, I cut fine, raw onion slices, turn them in a mixture of flour and a little sweet paprika, then fry the floured onion rings in oil until crispy light brown.

While I’m at it, I also put some parsley leaves in the hot oil.

The herbs will splatter a little when frying, please put a lid on the pot or your fryer.

The crispy parsley leaves and the roasted onions are seasoned with salt while lying on the paper towel in the hot oil immediately after the free swim.

Crispy fried onions and fried parsley catapult your taste buds into gourmet heaven
