Ingredients

• 1000 g floury potatoes
• 1 pc onion
• 2 pc eggs
• 4 tbsp wheat flour
• 1 pinch nutmeg
• salt
• pepper
• 4 tbsp neutral oil for frying
• 800 g tart apples
• 50 ml water
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 pinch cinnamon
• 150 g lamb's lettuce
• 2 tbsp neutral oil for the dressing
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp medium-hot mustard

Method

1. Peel, core and roughly chop the apples. Bring them to a boil in a pot with the water and a pinch of cinnamon, then simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes until soft.
2. Remove the pot from the heat, mash the apples with a fork or an immersion blender into apple sauce and sweeten with the sugar. Keep warm.
3. Peel the potatoes and grate them finely. Squeeze them well in a cloth or sieve so that as much liquid as possible drains out.
4. Finely dice the onion and mix it in a bowl with the potatoes, eggs, flour, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
5. Heat the oil in a large pan. For each fritter, add about two tablespoons of the mixture to the pan, flatten it and fry over medium heat until golden brown on both sides.
6. Drain the finished fritters on kitchen paper and keep them warm until all fritters are fried.
7. For the dressing, whisk together the mustard, apple cider vinegar, oil, salt and pepper. Clean the lamb's lettuce, wash it, spin it dry and toss it with the dressing.
8. Serve the potato fritters immediately with the warm apple sauce and the lamb's lettuce.
