“Heaven and earth” Just Like Grandma’s!

As children we were really straight when it came to taste: sweet food was our favourite, hearty food was allowed if we didn’t have to chew much. Something like salty chocolate, by contrast, was a horror to us! There was one exception, however: “Heaven and Earth”. But that was also because the strange mixture of sweet apples and mashed potatoes went together much better than it seemed. Today we’re going to tell you how to make this traditional German dish yourself – it’s really super simple!

What you need

1 lb potatoes
1 lb cooking apples
2 teaspoons butter
Nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste

And here’s how!

Peel and chop the apples and potatoes and boil in water until soft, about 15 minutes.

Mash both to a pulp and stir until smooth.

Add the butter and season to taste.
