This dish comes from the Güshgle region of the Liechtenstein alps. Easy to make, but delicious.

Ingredients:

440g semolina flour
4 eggs
salt and freshly-grated nutmeg, to taste
2 tbsp oil
200ml milk
2l water
4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
160g cheese, grated (Jähringer is traditional, but you can use Gruyère, Emmental or Sbrinz)
crisp-fried onions, to serve

Method:

Combine the semolina, egg, salt and nutmeg in a bowl with the oil. Stir in the milk and water until you have a batter the consistency of thick oil.

Bring a pan of lightly-salted water to a boil, add the potatoes and cook for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Drain and set aside to keep warm.

Bring another large pan of salted water to a boil then force the batter into this through a Knöpfel sieve or a colander. Cook until the knöpfle rise to the surface then remove from the pan with a slotted spoon.

Take a serving dish and arrange the potatoes and knöpfle in this, separated by layers of the grated cheese. Garnish with the crisp-fried onions and serve.
