Hungarian potato pasta

What do you think of eating potatoes with pasta? I bet you wouldn't think of a meal containing these two basic ingredients as a delicious one. However, it's one of my favorites I've always liked since I was a child. Also, the basic recipe is so simple that you HAVE TO make variations! 

Hungarian potato pasta

Ingredients

3 middle-sized potatos

1 chopped onion

200g pasta 

3 tbsp oil

3 tsp ground sweet pepper (paprika)

pinch of salt

Preparation

Cook the potatoes in boiling water until they become soft enough to easily crush them with a fork. Once they are ready, crush them (as you may have thought so). In the oil, fry the chopped onion along with some salt and optionally some black pepper. Once it's almost done, add the paprika and mix quite well. Then pour it on the potatos, mix again and then mix with the cooked pasta. Serve with ground pepper.

Note: it is best with some sour pickles or sauerkraut.
