Instruction
Prepare goulash
Prepare potatoes
Wash the potatoes and peel them thoroughly.
I usually cut the peeled potatoes into 1 cm cubes.
This reduces the cooking time of the potato goulash.
Prepare carrots
I halve the peeled carrots lengthways and then cut them into 1 cm diagonal slices.
Onions
Halve the onions and garlic (this makes peeling easier), then peel and finely dice.
Prepare onions
Sweat the onion and garlic cubes in a wide saucepan with sunflower oil over high heat and allow them to turn light brown.
Add carrots
Add the prepared potato cubes and carrot slices and sweat.
Tomato
Quickly add the tomato paste and roast briefly.
Add the paprika, turmeric, marjoram and thyme and, after stirring once, quickly deglaze with the vegetable broth.
Season goulash
Bring the potato goulash to the boil and season with the broth.
Lemon zest
Finely grate the lemon peel and add the stew.
Simmer gently for 20 minutes.
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
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
Serve
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!

3. Prepare Potato Goulash Yourself
The goulash consists of potatoes, onions, tomato paste, sweet paprika, vegetable stock, salt, pepper, marjoram and thyme.
For the spices and aromatics you also need garlic, lemon zest and caraway .
Optionally, you can add turmeric as a digestive miracle cure. The goulash is prepared in about 40 minutes.
Advantage: Vegan potato goulash is ready in about 40 minutes!
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.
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!

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
