Tips
- Cook the potatoes and the pasta separately, at the same time, so both are ready together and neither turns soggy waiting for the other.
- Only crush the potatoes lightly with a fork, don't mash them smooth — grenadírmars is meant to have a chunky texture.
- Stir the paprika into the onion fat off the heat so it doesn't burn.
- Keeps 3 days in the fridge; reheat covered in the microwave with a splash of water, stirring halfway through, so it doesn't dry out.
