Apple Potato Mash (Hete bliksem)
Allergens: Eggs, Milk, Sesame
Dutch hete bliksem: sweet apples mashed into buttery potatoes.
Ingredients
- Salt
- Apples 250 g
- Potatoes 250 g
- Bacon rashers 4
- Cheddar 200 g
- Eggs 1
- Cinnamon
- Maple syrup 1 tsp
- Sesame seeds 50 g
Method
- Clean and peel the potatoes and cut them into even size chunks.
- Boil them in salted water for about 10 min and then add the cleaned and chopped apples into the boiling water.
- Add the cinnamon stick as well.
- Leave to boil for another 10 minutes or until both apples and potatoes are to your liking.
- I like mine to be fairly chunky but that is a personal preference.
- In the mean time bake the streaky bacon in a dry frying pan until crispy and set aside to drain on paper towels.
- Slice a few apple pieces and melt a little butter in a fryin pan.
- Add the apple slices to it and add a bit of maple syrup into the pan as well as some cinnamon.
- Let it simmer until the apple is soft.
- Prepare a plate with one whisked egg and one plate with sesame seeds.
- Cut your cheese into the required size.
- The smaller it is, the easier it is too handle.
- Dip the cheese into the egg and make sure it coats all sides.
- Then dip the cheese into the sesame seeds and make sure it is covered everywhere.
- Heat a non stick frying pan on high until nice and hot.
- Put the cheese slice in and bake until the sesame seeds are brown.
- You have to do this rather quickly or the cheese will melt completely.
- Turn and bake the other side.
- Drain the apples and potatoes and mash them together.
- Taste and add cinnamon and salt where needed.
- Remove the cinnamon stick before mashing
