an Upper Palatinate potato recipe

Peel and grate the potatoes, drain well, and squeeze out any excess water if necessary to ensure they’re relatively dry. Stir in the salt and place the salted potato flakes in small piles in a large, greased baking dish. Bake in a preheated oven at approximately 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit). Whisk the eggs with the milk, season with pepper and nutmeg, and pour over the potatoes after about 10 minutes of baking. Then bake for another 20 minutes. Finally, scatter knobs of clarified butter over the Röhrenbummerln. Tip: It also tastes great with knobs of butter, or for a more sophisticated twist, with knobs of herb butter, though this won’t be quite the original.
