German here. I don’t know if its reaally local, but mine would be a family dish called “Holzfällerpfanne”, the “lumberjack skillet”. It’s made out of fried potatoes, slices of apple, Champignons, fried onion, fried cabanossi and cheese on top (a lot of it).

So you basically slice all ingredients, fry the raw (and peeled) potatoes for a few minutes, add in the champignons, wait a few more minutes, add the apples next, and after another few minutes add the onions and cabanossi. When everything is slightly browned, spread a good amount of cheese on top, cover the pan with a lid and wait until the cheese is fully melted. Tadaa!

Deciding when to add which ingredient so everything is perfect at the same time is kind of key here, so it may help to fry the onions und cabanossi in a seperate pan to not overdo them.

I shouldn’t have drawn on an orange piece of paper, but here you go…

I will be visiting my home village, first spendig Christmas with my family, then meeting up with my former school friends and finally spending the days around New Year’s Eve with my girlfriend’s family. Going back on 3 January, ready to continue my studies on 6th.
