Spicy potatoes with ground pork and tomatoes are a baked dish for days when you don't have time for lengthy cooking. Simmer ground pork with onion, napa cabbage, garlic, blanched tomatoes, and tomato paste, then season with hot paprika, marjoram, and caraway seeds. Layer the mixture between two layers of sliced boiled potatoes, optionally top with slices of butter, and bake for 20 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F). This hearty dish serves six and is ready in about half an hour.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

  1. Peel the potatoes, boil them whole, and let cool before cutting them into rounds. Peel and dice the onion. Wash and chop the cabbage. Blanch the tomatoes, peel them, and chop them. Peel the garlic and press it through a garlic press.
  2. Heat the oil and sauté the onion. Add the ground pork, cabbage, garlic, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir everything together and cook for about 15 minutes.
  3. Season the mixture with hot paprika, marjoram, caraway seeds, and salt, then let cool briefly. Grease a baking dish and arrange half the potatoes in it. Spread the meat mixture over them and cover with the remaining potatoes. If desired, top with slices of butter. Cover the dish and bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20 minutes.
  4. Divide into six servings. Garnish as desired before serving.

Tip: Boil the potatoes just until tender but still firm; overcooked potatoes will crumble when sliced. They will finish cooking in the covered baking dish.
