Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

baked with eggs

Peel, wash, and quarter the potatoes, then cover and cook in boiling salted water for 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 200°C (top/bottom heat, fan-assisted oven is not suitable). Gently warm the milk with the butter and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Wash the chives and cut 3/4 of them into rolls. Drain the potatoes and let them steam in an uncovered pan on the stovetop. Then mash them finely and gradually stir in the hot milk mixture with a wooden spoon. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Fold in the chives and fried onions. Transfer the mashed potatoes to a greased baking dish and make 4 wells with the back of a spoon. Crack the eggs into the wells (like fried eggs), then sprinkle with cheese. Bake in the preheated oven on the second rack from the bottom for 25 minutes. Cut the remaining chives into long rolls and sprinkle them over the puree with a little salt and pepper.
