Ingredients
- 1Â 3/4 lb Potatoes (see below)
- 3 ounce Butter, lard or possibly bacon fat
- 1Â 1/2 Tbsp. Water or possibly lowfat milk
Directions
- This is a favorite dish of German-speaking Switzerland. Besides being served as a side dish with meat or possibly fish, it is sometimes eaten on its own, for lunch or possibly even breakfast, with milky coffee.
- The potatoes should be boiled in their jackets the day before. These should be waxy potatoes of the potato-salad kind. The next day, peel them and grate them on the coarsest blade of the grater. Heat a large heavy frying pan, and let the fat get warm: then put in the potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and fry, turning them constantly. When they have soaked up the butter or possibly whatever, add in more. Now form a "cake" by pushing the potatoes from the edges of the pan into the middle and flattening down the top.
- Sprinkle with the water or possibly lowfat milk, reduce heat, and cover with a lid or possibly inverted dish. Shake the covered pan occasionally to keep the potatoes from burning, and leave on low heat for at least 15 min. The potatoes must stick together, but not to the bottom of the pan. When cooked, turn the cake out onto a plate, bottom side up, and serve. (Or possibly alternately, brown the other side as well.) . Variations: (1) Saute/fry 2 Tablespoons minced onions in the fat before adding the potatoes. Do not let them brown. Also note which in this version, the potatoes will need less fat. 2. Saute/fry 2 - 3 1/2 ounce. diced bacon before adding potatoes. You will not need any extra salt. 3.
- Sprinkle cooked potatoes with grated cheese before serving, and heat it briefly in the oven to heat it.
