How to Make Potato Goulash

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Stir in the sweet paprika and cook for 1 minute more, allowing the paprika to toast slightly and release its aroma.
  3. Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes begin to brown slightly.
  4. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes and red wine vinegar. Stir well to combine.
  6. Add the dried marjoram and caraway seeds. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for at least 1 and a half hours, or until the potatoes are very tender and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed before serving. Enjoy your delicious homemade Potato Goulash!
