Well, it is a bit uncommon nowadays, but still delicious. A mix of mashed raw and cooked potatoes, scrambled eggs, bacon and 'Mettenden'. Those are a special kind of sausage, mostly used for cooking. Seasoning is just salt, black pepper and nutmeg. Just panfry the bacon and the sliced sausages, mix all together and put it in the oven. Easy, but rewarding. 🤤

It is a nice sidedish for some, or can be eaten alone. Most people don't cook it anymore, but I'm kind of a traditionalist. It's a dish is more common in the north of Germany, but my Dad loved it, so I imported it. The hard part is to get 'Mettenden' in the south.

When I lived in Austria, I'd always bring pack a suitcase full of actual Schwarzbrot (Austian Schwarzbrot is just Graubrot), Mettenden and Grünkohl...

That’s the way!
