Grenadier March (Potato Pasta with Paprika)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Main Courses
Potato Pasta (or Grenadier March) is a testament to peasant kitchen ingenuity: two carb sources united in a paprika-onion base. The secret is the potato texture: it should be slightly overcooked to coat the pasta, while keeping some chunks intact.

Instructions

1 ✓

Peel and dice potatoes. Boil pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain.

Tip: Pasta will soften further when mixed with hot potatoes.
2 ✓

Sauté chopped onion in fat. Remove from heat, stir in paprika, then add potatoes and just enough water to cover.

Tip: Paprika fat is the soul of the dish. Don't burn it!
3 ✓

Salt and boil potatoes until soft and water has mostly evaporated.

Tip: You want a thick, starchy sauce, not soup.
4 ✓

Roughly mash some of the potatoes (don't puree!), then fold in the cooked pasta.

Tip: The mashed potato starch coats the pasta, binding flavors together.
5 ✓

Fry together for a few minutes, season with pepper, and serve with pickles.

Tip: Frying melds flavors and crisps the pasta edges slightly.

Recipe FAQ

Too dry.
You likely fried it too long or lacked fat. Loosen with a splash of pasta water.
