Instructions

Working time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

For fireplace evenings, a little more powerful

Wash and peel the raw potatoes, and slice them not too thinly. Heat clarified butter in a large pan and fry the potato slices over medium heat for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Then finely chop the onion and garlic. Season the potatoes with salt, pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds, if desired. Add the onion and garlic, and fry gently for another 10 minutes. The potato slices should be slightly firm on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Cut the ham into strips, fold them into the potatoes along with the herbs, and transfer everything to a buttered, ovenproof dish. Top with thick slices of Munster cheese and melt them under the grill for about 5 minutes. Serve with a green salad or lamb’s lettuce. Baguette isn’t necessary, but a suitable wine and perhaps a “Verdauerle” (a German “Verdauerle” – “Verdauerle”) afterward are essential.
