Ingredients

Stew:

  • 4 cups cubed pork butt
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 5 mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 green pepper, chopped
  • 1 Hungarian pepper, chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper

Potato Pancake:

  • 1/4 cup ground onions
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and ground, starch reserved
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup flour, plus more for thickening gravy
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Sour cream, for serving

Directions

For the stew: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the pork, paprika, mushrooms, carrots, onions, peppers, salt and pepper in a roaster and roast 45 minutes.

For the potato pancake: Mix the onions, eggs, potatoes with their starch and some salt and pepper. Add the flour until the batter becomes thick but not too thick. Heat oil until hot in a pan. Spoon the batter into the pan and form a pancake. Fry on one side until brown, then flip and continue frying until both sides are brown, about 6 minutes.

Check the pork to make sure it is fully cooked. Strain the juice from the meat and vegetables, add to a pan and simmer over low heat. Slowly add flour into the juices to thicken the gravy.

Place the meat and vegetables on top of the potato pancake, cover with gravy and serve with sour cream.

    OMG! OMG! This was utterly scrumpshus even without the goulash. I added a smidge more grated onion and served it with homemade applesauce. IT was roll your eyes back into your head absolutely delicious.

    Pretty darn good! I cut the pork into 1" cubes. Next time I would do 1/2" cubes. Subsitutued Hungarian pepper for one more jalepeno. Didn't produce a whole lot of gravy. Enough for two servings. We made an heirloom tomato salad with a vinegerette. Which we found really helped to cut the richness of the dish. Easy meal to prepare. Used a food processor to grind the potatoes and onions. Thanks for the recipe!

    Guy was spot on with this one. My family and I went to the Polish Village this past Saturday, and I ordered the Hungarian pancake. It was awesome! The pork had a nice spicy kick and was very tender. This was my second visit to the Polish Village since seeing the DDD show, it is now one of my favorite Detroit dining experiences.

    Thanks Guy!
