Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes and put them to cook. It is necessary to boil in salted water until fully cooked, so that it does not stretch. It takes me about 20 minutes from the moment the water boils. Meanwhile, peel the onion and cut it into thin half rings.
  2. Cut the bacon into small cubes.
  3. Heat a frying pan and put a small piece of butter. Butter can generally be added if a lot of fat is wrapped in bacon. I must say that German cuisine is not dietary. Fry the onion and bacon until the onion is golden brown. You don’t need to bake yet, but you will need a frying pan another time.
  4. When the potatoes remain to cook for another 10 minutes, drain some of the water into a small saucepan, add 1 tsp sugar and 1 tsp lemon juice (I think lemon does not matter, but I did as in the recipe). In this water we put … Yes, peel and core the apples, cut into slices! Since the water is already hot (water has also been drained from the potatoes), it boils very quickly. From the moment of boiling, cook for 5 minutes. P. S. Potatoes, meanwhile, continue to cook.
  5. Drain the apples with water. I also blotted it with a paper towel to avoid excess liquid. Now reheat the pan, add a little butter and fry the apples until golden brown (not brown, but rather golden). First boiled, now fried) But I’m telling you: this is it!
  6. When the potatoes are cooked to readiness, drain the water from it (pour some of the water into a cup – it is more useful). Add the fried apples to the same place and start kneading. You can, of course, with the help of a blender, but I don’t like it at all… Apples, by the way, are very good! Then you won’t understand where the potato is and where the apple is.
  7. Then add the remaining butter, a couple of tablespoons of potato water and a spoonful of sour cream (full, “with a slide”, as they say). As I have already said, German cuisine is sometimes not dietetic) Stirred well? That’s it!
  8. Remember bacon and onions? Now generously spread the sauce on top and garnish with it.
