Dish
Maluns
The dish starts with potatoes, which are peeled and grated. The grated potatoes are then boiled until they are tender, and then drained and cooled. The potatoes are then fried in butter until they are crispy and golden brown. Maluns are often served with applesauce or lingonberry jam.
Origins and history
Maluns have their roots in the Swiss Alps, where they were a staple dish for farmers and shepherds. The dish is typically made with potatoes, but other root vegetables such as parsnips or carrots can be used as well. The butter adds a rich, savory flavor to the dish, while the applesauce or lingonberry jam provides a touch of sweetness.
