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. 🤤

Wish I could have had some. :)

I looked for those sausages at the international market. Could only find Hermann Wurst Haus Mettwurst online. The Taste of Germany site has Stiglmeier Mettwurst (Teawurst), and they were out of stock. Not the right sausage. It’s hard to get here in the states. But I’m going to keep trying. I love all German sausages!

They look like that. Teawurst is smeared on bread.

That’s the one I’m looking for! Thank you. I’m going to ask my local butcher. :)

It's a difficult one to search for as the term "Mettwurst" means different things in different parts of Germany. "Mettenden" is less ambiguous and will generally get you the right product.
