Traditional Swabian side dish made from potato dough (a type of potato noodles)
Boil and mash the potatoes. Stir the 2 eggs into the potato mixture. Add enough flour to prevent the dough from sticking. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Grease a baking dish well. Form the dough into finger-thick rolls. Place them in the dish, leaving a finger-width gap between them. Place the second layer at exactly 90 degrees to create a lattice. (There will be about 3 layers.) Then pour the cream over the top and add enough milk to cover the first layer. Bake at 180°C for about 40 minutes. I always ladle a little cream over the top layer during baking to create a nice crust. The cream should be completely gone by the end. We always eat it with sauerkraut and smoked pork. You can also make it with sugar instead of salt and then serve it with applesauce or compote. It tastes delicious too!
