Recently I was looking for the same paprika pastes that my mom brings us when she has business in Hungary, and I instead ended up with one correct tube of paste and two jars of things that are not what I was looking for, but nonetheless delicious. One is something called "Goulasch Creme" and the other is basically hot paprika peppers ground up. The Goulasch Creme is made from mild paprika peppers with tomatos, onions, salt, and other seasonings and flavors. It's delicious and I've incorporated it into numerous things.
One thing I used it for recently is breakfast potatoes. It turned out just delicious! I love potatoes for breakfast or brunch and there are a million ways to make them. This particular day I diced two potatoes and sauteed them with lots of butter. Two small spoonfuls of the goulasch creme and one small spoonful of the ground hot paprika peppers coated the potatoes and helped the edges to carmelize as the potatoes cooked. I also added pepper, salt, garlic, and ancho chiles.
These potatoes were absolutley yummy and perfect. If you happen to find yourself with paprika paste, goulasch creme, or anything similar, I would definitely give it a try on potatoes. I ate them with sour cream but I'm sure they'd be great with ketchup or whatever other thing you like potatoes with.
Happy eating!
Zomg! Those breakfast potatoes sound awesome, lady! And sour cream? Sign. Me. Up.
