Himmel und Erde (Heaven and earth)
A northern German dish, served with blood sausage and more precisely translated as “apples and potatoes”, was an obvious candidate for our surplus survival guide.

Ingredients
- Potatoes 4 medium, cut into small cubes (peeling optional)
- Apples tart, 2, sliced
- Sugar 1 Tbsp.
- Bacon 4 slices, cut into 1 inch pieces
- Onion 1, medium, sliced
- Butter 1 Tbsp.
- Nutmeg
Instructions
- Heat 2 cm (1 in) of salted water to boiling. Add cubed potatoes, sliced apples and sugar. Once it returns to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
- While the potatoes and apples are cooking away, fry the bacon. Add and fry the onion. (Drain off a bit of the grease if you have the privilege of using real bacon. If you’re using French “lardons”, you may even need to add a bit of oil for the onion.)
- Place drained apples and potatoes into your serving bowl.
- Top with small pieces of butter, sprinkle on nutmeg. Serve onions and bacon on top.
