An old Upper Palatinate dish made from mashed potatoes. Also sometimes called desert sand.

Boil the potatoes with their skins on and let them cool. It’s important that they’re really cold! Otherwise, they’ll absorb water later. Rice the peeled potatoes with a potato ricer and mix quickly with the flour and salt until crumbly. Heat the clarified butter in a pan and fry the potatoes until crispy, stirring constantly. It’s eaten as a standalone dish in Upper Palatinate cuisine, but it can certainly also be used as a side dish.
