Method

  1. Preparation

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium cubes, cut the bacon into smaller cubes, and finely chop the onion.

  2. Rendering the bacon

    Fry the bacon cubes in a dry, hot frying pan until the fat has rendered out and the pieces are crispy.

    8 min
  3. Frying the onion

    Add the onion to the rendered fat and fry until soft and translucent, then remove the pan from the heat and sprinkle over the paprika.

    5 min
  4. Cooking the potatoes

    20 min
  5. Seasoning

    Season with salt and pepper to taste and, if needed, add a little more water so the potatoes do not catch and burn.
