Grenadiren marsch (Grenadier March) is an old military recipe from the Napoleonic Wars. Its origin is attributed to Hungarian grenadiers who served in the Austro-Hungarian army. It is actually a cheap meal made from ingredients that were plentiful in the army at the time, i.e. potatoes, speck and bacon. The Hungarians then enhanced all the dishes with paprika for flavour and aroma.

Ingredients:

1 kg of potatoes 500 g of onions 300 g English bacon 2 pcs
