Cooking Instructions Bauernfruehstueck
– Boil potatoes. The best is to boil them the day before and use them the next day.
– Cut salami, Speck or ham into small cubes. Chop onions/garlic very fine.
– Peel potatoes and cut in thin slices.
– Don’t use a small pan as you need to turn the content several times.
– Heat some butter in a larger pan and fry half of the onions and garlic first until transparent, then add meat and sliced potatoes.
– After 10 min add the remaining onions. Mix well. Spice to taste.
– In a bowl beat the eggs (per person 2 eggs) with the milk. Spice with salt and pepper to taste. Add a hint of nutmeg

– When the potatoes are golden brown, pour the eggs over them. Let the eggs get firm. If you mix them they will get flaky.
– Before serving add the chopped chives/parsley.
– Place the pickles aside or slice them up.
