What to Serve with Hungarian Scalloped Potatoes
🌿 Side Salad – A fresh cucumber or green salad balances the richness.
🥩 Roasted Meats – Pairs beautifully with roast chicken, pork chops, or beef.
🥖 Crusty Bread – For soaking up the creamy sauce!

Tips for the Best Rakott Krumpli
✔️ Use Waxy Potatoes – Yukon Gold or Red potatoes hold their shape best.
✔️ Smoked Sausage is Key – Hungarian kolbász gives the best flavor, but kielbasa or chorizo work too.
✔️ Let it Rest Before Serving – This helps the layers set and prevents it from falling apart.
✔️ Don’t Skip the Paprika – Sweet Hungarian paprika gives it a unique, smoky touch.
✔️ Add Extra Layers – Try layering in sautéed onions, mushrooms, or spinach for variety.
