This is the traditional Tiroler Gröstl as described in "Das Schmankerl-Kochbuch aus Westendor" featuring recipes from various restaurants in Westendorf. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes and meat.
Ingredients:
1 kg potatoes
1 onion, diced
leftovers of beef or pork, diced
vegetable oil
salt, pepper to taste
marjoram
chives and parsley
eggs (1 per person)
Preparation:
Boil potatoes with their peels on.
Peel them while still hot.
Cool potatoes.
Cut potatoes in slices.
Heat oil in a large frying pan and brown onions and meat.
Add potatoes
and season with marjoram, salt and pepper.
Fry until browned evenly.
Sprinkle with parsley and chives.
Fry eggs.
Serve the potato Gröstl on a plate with one fried egg on top.
Notes:
Canadian Tiroler Gröstl:
This variation takes an Austrian favourite and creates a Canadian twist by
adding fresh fiddleheads and using bacon for the meat.
Omit the beef or pork in the Gröstl, Instead fry bacon separately and
then cut into tiny pieces.
Add the bacon once the potatoes are almost
done frying.
At the same time bring a pot of water to a boil.
Add a cup or two of
fresh cleaned and rinsed fiddleheads to the boiling water for 1 minute.
Drain and immerse cooked fiddleheads in cold water
(this stops the cooking
process and allows fiddleheads to retain a fresh green colour).
Once
cooled, drain fiddleheads and add them to the Gröstl.
Serve with fried
egg on top.
