simple, old recipe from the Ries

Boil the potatoes, mash them, spread them out on a baking board, and let them cool. Mix in the flour and salt and quickly knead them with the egg into a firm dough. Let them rest for 30 minutes. Then, to prevent stickiness, roll out the dough thinly with a little flour and cut into squares, about 5 x 5 cm, using a wheel or a knife. Layer them in a greased baking dish, spread with sour cream, and sprinkle with chives. Continue layering until all the dough is used up. Cover the top layer with butter flakes. Bake in a hot oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) for about 30 minutes until golden. An old recipe from the Ries region – as a side dish to sauerkraut or roast.
