-
- Reibekuchen (potatoe pancake)
-
- 1.5 kg potatoes (a sort that stays "hard" -
- not the one you use for mashed potatoes)
- 1 big onion
- 2 eggs
- 1 teespoon salt
- a bit flour (Buchweizen (wheat flour)
- or oat flakes
- Oil
-
- Grate the potatoes over a sieve, so that the water can leave.
- Don't use a to fine grater, you don't want to make mashed potatoes.
-
- Squeeze the potatoes - so that more water is going out of it.
-
- Grate the onions fine on the grater and put them to the potatoes,
- like the other ingredients and mix them carefully.
-
- Depending on how wet the dough is, put some flour or oat flakes
- to it, so that you get a not to solid dough.
-
- Put oil into a pan and when it is really hot, take with a (soap)
- spoon abit from the dough and put it into the pan and push it to
- a flat cake.
-
- They have to be "golden" from both sides (you have to turm them
- after awhile) - the border of that pancake has to be real crisp.
-
- Eat them hot to (or on) a slice of bread (Schwarzbrot (that is
- dark bread)) with butter and put Ruebenkraut (sugar-root syrup)
- or Apfelkraut (apple syrup) on it.

- Here is another old recipe I have from my grandmother - which is
- really good:
-
-
- Pottkuchen (pot-cake - made of Potatoes)
-
- 10 big potatoes
- 2 - 3 spoons wheat flour
- 2 eggs
- salt
- some slices of ham (not the cooked ham)
- 250 g dried plums (something like raisins but made of plums)
- 2 - 3 smoked sausages
-
-
- Grate the potatoes and mix them with the flour and the eggs
- and the salt (not to much - because of the smoked sausages and
- the ham).
-
- Take a castiron pot, put the ham slices in it and melt them out,
- after that take the slices out.
-
- Now fill layer potatoes in the pot, then a layer dried plums,
- again potatoes, then slices from the smoked sausage and again
- potatoes.
-
- Put the pot in the oven (225 Celsius) for 1 hour.
-
- You can eat it warm or later cut in slices and baked in a pan
- or cold with Apfelkraut (apple syrup).

-
- Eifeler Scholes (Eifler Scholes :-) you can not translate it I guess)
-
- The eifel is an area in Germany (where the famous Nuerburg Ring is,
- something like hmmm the Hockenheim Ring or Daytona ( ;-) ), where
- car and motorbikes races are) between Luxemburg, Belgium, Holland
- and the rhine area (Cologne, Bonn).
-
-
- 1.5 kg potatoes
- 3 rolls
- 50 g durchwachsener Speck (that is ham that is "red and white"
- red from the meat - and white from the fat)
- It is here abit smoked
- 1 little onion
- 4 eggs
- salt
- pepper
-
- Grate the potatoes and onion.
-
- Cut the ham into little cubes and melt/bake it out.
-
- Put the rolls into water, so that they soak water and
- press them out.
-
- Mix that all together (potatoes, ham and the mashed rolls)
- with the eggs.
-
- Put the dough in a form (like the one you use for lasagne
- for example), which is greased with butter, and put it for
- 90 minutes into the oven (180 Celsius) untill it is "golden"
- on the top.

-
- I hope that I found the right words and that I explained it in a way
- that you can understand it. I have not known how difficult it is to
- translate a recipe :-)
-
- Since I do not know, if you know these kind of food in america - I
- hope that you like it.
