Note:

The above dish is a new interpretation of a Swiss classic called Funggi. This traditional dish form Solothurn is a porridge like mixture of potatoes and apple, finished off with cream and garnished with croutons fried in butter. It is often served with meat stews such as “Soledurner Vorasse”. This new recipe has been recreated as a gratin and is heartily recommended.
