This is another one of those comfort foods that takes me back to my Hungarian father. For Passover, use matzah meal instead of bread crumbs. I actually make it with matzah meal all year round.

This was so delicious! We were definitely in need of some comfort food when I made this and it fit the bill perfectly! It's really so easy to make and anyone who knows me knows thats important to me! My husband, who has ancestral roots in the Bukavina (the old Austro-Hungarian Empire) said his grandmother made something similar. He loved this too. The only thing I did a teeny bit differently was use new potatoes, so I did not peel them after cooking, just sliced them. Thanks for another wonderful recipe Mirj!

    My in-laws have austro-hungarian ancestry, and they make a similar recipe that has been passed down for generatons. Instead of paprika, they use a splash of cider vinegar. Both ways (vinegar, or paprika) are delicious! The paprika is a less bland meal.

    I made this twice, the first time exactly as written and with the following changes the second time: I used 1 29 oz can sliced potatoes, 4 eggs and I put paprika in the sour cream and onion mixture. Also, just a side note, I cooked the onions over medium high heat to brown them. With the changes, this became a very easy and tasty recipe and I will definitely make it again.
