Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the sausage in a baking dish, cover for 20 minutes and remove lid. Cook until sausage is crispy and thoroughly cooked, another 15 minutes. Remove and cover with foil.

Step 2

Meanwhile, in a medium-large skillet, melt butter and sauté onions until tender. Stir in paprika and pepper with the onions.

Step 3

Add potatoes and coat with the paprika, pepper and onions. Add most of the water, enough to cover the potatoes and bring to a boil. Turn down heat to a simmer with a slow boil. Once the water has evaporated, add the remaining water and salt. Cook for about 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender and it has a creamy texture.

Step 4

Serve with the sausage, crusty bread, pickles or a salad. Garnish with sour cream is optional.
