Apple Potato Mash (Hete bliksem)

Side · Netherlands classic.

Ingredients

• 250g Apples
• 250g Potatoes
• 1 Cinnamon Stick
• 1 tsp Maple Syrup
• Sprinkling Ground Cinnamon
• 4 Bacon
• 200g Cheese
• Pinch Salt
• 1 Egg
• 50g Sesame Seed

Method

1. Continue cooking — Clean and peel the potatoes and cut them into even size chunks.
2. Bring to a boil — Boil them in salted water for about 10 min and then add the cleaned and chopped apples into the boiling water.
3. Bring to a boil — Add the cinnamon stick as well. Leave to boil for another 10 minutes or until both apples and potatoes are to your liking.
4. Continue cooking — I like mine to be fairly chunky but that is a personal preference
5. Fry — In the mean time bake the streaky bacon in a dry frying pan until crispy and set aside to drain on paper towels.
6. Fry — Slice a few apple pieces and melt a little butter in a fryin pan.
7. Add ingredients — Add the apple slices to it and add a bit of maple syrup into the pan as well as some cinnamon.
8. Simmer — Let it simmer until the apple is soft. Prepare a plate with one whisked egg and one plate with sesame seeds.
9. Continue cooking — Cut your cheese into the required size. The smaller it is, the easier it is too handle.
10. Continue cooking — Dip the cheese into the egg and make sure it coats all sides.
11. Cover and cook — Then dip the cheese into the sesame seeds and make sure it is covered everywhere.
12. Fry — Heat a non stick frying pan on high until nice and hot.
