Place the smoked knuckle of pork in a large pot and cover it with water. Simmer for about 1.5 hours, or until it is partially tender.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into large cubes. Slice the onions into rings and crush the garlic.
Grease a large baking tray with oil or lard. Spread the potatoes, onion rings, and crushed garlic evenly on the tray. Sprinkle with Hungarian sweet paprika, salt, and pepper, then mix well.
Place the partially cooked knuckle of pork on top of the potatoes. Add rosemary for extra flavor, if desired.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for about 1 hour, basting occasionally with the pan juices to prevent drying out.
When the knuckle of pork is golden brown and the potatoes are tender, remove from the oven. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve the knuckle of pork with the roasted potatoes and a side of fresh pickles.
