Instructions

  1. Cook the peeled potatoes in salted water for 20 minutes, drain them, let them cool, then coarsely grate them.
  2. Finely slice the onion and cook it in half the butter over low heat until translucent.
  3. Mix the grated potatoes with the flour, salt, nutmeg and pepper, then add the milk to slightly moisten the mixture.
  4. Add the mixture to the onion in the pan and spread it into a thin cake; brown it for 5 to 6 minutes over medium heat.
  5. Turn it over in pieces, adding the rest of the butter, and keep cooking until you get a nice golden, crispy crust.
  6. Serve right away, sprinkled with chives, with apple compote on the side.

Variations and tips

Bacon version. Add 100 g of rendered bacon bits with the onion for a heartier dish.
