Steps

1. Peel and dice 7 medium potatoes, then place them in a pot of water to boil until they easily mash with a fork.
2. Pour 1.7 cups (400 ml) of water into a bowl, add 1 tsp of sea salt, and the Type 400 soft flour.
3. Knead into a smooth dough that does not stick to your hands, noting that it does not need to rest.
4. Flour your work surface and roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of less than half a finger.
5. Cut the rolled-out dough into small squares (valjušci) with a knife.
6. Put a pot of water with a little salt on to boil.
7. Drop the prepared pasta into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, then drain them.
8. Peel and finely slice the onions into long strips, discarding the onion core.
9. Heat a generous amount of oil in a pot, add the chopped onion, and fry while stirring constantly until nicely caramelized.
10. Once the onion is caramelized, add two tablespoons of sweet paprika and fry briefly.
11. Mash the boiled potatoes with a fork as you would for mashed potatoes.
12. Add the cooked pasta and mashed potatoes to the pot with the fried onion and paprika.
13. Mix everything well and combine over the heat, then serve warm.
