Peel the sweet potato and cut into small cubes. Cut the Maultaschen into small pieces. Heat a knob of butter in a non-stick pan and add only the sweet potato cubes first. Reduce the heat and fry the potato pieces, turning occasionally, until half cooked. This should take between 5 and 8 minutes. Now add the Maultaschen pieces and continue frying everything together for about 4-5 minutes. In the meantime, whisk the two eggs with the milk and spices. You should omit the salt, as Maultaschen are usually well seasoned. Pour the egg-spiced milk over the Maultaschen sweet potatoes, increase the heat again briefly, and then reduce the heat again immediately. Cover the frittata and let it set for about 10-15 minutes. Shortly before the end of the cooking time, sprinkle the frittata with the prepared herbs and let it set further. I like to use fresh lovage and chives for this. Lovage also provides a good flavor. If you’d like, you can add salt now, or have it ready at the table. Actually, no salt is needed for this dish. Serve the finished frittata with a fresh salad.
