Start by frying the bacon in a bit of vegetable oil. Add the garlic and parsley—as Jamie Oliver says, “two best friends”—then toss in the onion and let it sauté gently over low heat.
4 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 handful parsley, 2 Slices Bacon Lardons, 3 Onion
Add the green pepper and chili paprika, stir for a few minutes, then cover with a lid and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, wait a minute, then add the paprika powder (this prevents bitterness).
1 Green Pepper, 1 chili pepper, 3 tablespoon red pepper powder
Next, add the smoked sausage (or kolbász) and stir until fragrant. Add the diced potatoes, pour in the water until the potatoes are covered, then sprinkle with caraway seed, marjoram, salt and pepper. Cover again and let it boil gently until the potatoes are soft.
10 potatoes, 1 tablespoon marjoram, 1 teaspoon cumin, ½ teaspoon Salt, ½ teaspoon Black Pepper, 100 g hungarian sausage, 1¼ cup 1¼ Cups Water
Check water level, and add some water if all evaporates before potatoes are done. The finish should be a stew with very litle liquid.

for vegetarian version: skip the lard and sausage and use vegetable oil and potatoes only instead.
