Älplermagrone Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Heat the oven to 100 °C (212 °F)
• 2. Boil potatoes in a saucepan without lid for 5 minutes. Add Älplermagronen (Macaroni) and cook them "al dente" until the liquid is almost absorbed.
• 3. Pour cream over the potatoes and Macaroni, season to taste. Alternating with cheese, place the Älplermagronen in layers into the dish. Top with cheese. Bake approx.10 minutes in the center of the preheated oven until the cheese has melted.
• 4. Melt the butter. Mix onions and flour, shake off extra flour Fry in the butter(amount wasn't specified, but I would start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed) at medium heat for about 5 minutes until crisp Place onions on paper towels and keep warm
• 5. Quarter the unpeeled and uncored apples. Boil quartered apples with water with sugar, lemon peel and juice in a covered saucepan at low heat until soft. Strain apples and liquid through a sieve directly into a bowl. Cool the applesauce.
• 6. Serving: Spread onion rings on the Älplermagronen and serve with applesauce

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly grease large casserole dish.
• 2. Bring large pot of salted water to a boil.
• 3. In a large frying pan, melt butter over medium low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
• 4. Once water comes to a boil, add cubed potatoes. As They begin to soften, about 5 minutes, add pasta. Cook, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and pasta is just tender, about 7 minutes. Drain and gently rinse with cold water.
• 5. In a small bowl, season with salt and pepper cream.
• 6. Add 1/3 of pasta and potatoes to the bottom of prepared dish. Evenly cover with 1/2 of grated cheese.
• 7. Top with another 1/3 of pasta and potatoes, then top with remaining cheese, then remaining pasta and potatoes.
• 8. Pour the cream over the layers. Evenly cover with caramelized onions.
• 9. Cover and bake in preheated oven until heated through and cheese is melted, 10-15 minutes.
• 10. Serve hot over applesauce.

Steps:

• Peel and dice the potatoes.
• Boil in salted water.
• Add the noodles shortly before the potatoes are done (read the directions on the package first).
• The potatoes should be soft.
• Drain and arrange in alternate layers with the cheese in a deep baking dish. Pour in the cream and place in the hot oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a skillet.
• Slice the onions and saute until they turn light brown.
• Spread over the noodles and potatoes.
• Serve with apple puree or salad.

Steps:

• A variant on the theme: in the Swiss canton of Nidwalden, Aelplermagrone is prepared with equal amounts of macaroni and potatoes (peeled and diced). Dried apple slices are traditionally served as a side dish.
• Bring the milk and one tablespoon of salt to a boil. Add the noodles, reduce the heat, and cook over a low heat until done, stirring occasionally. The noodles should absorb enough milk so that the dish is still moist (if necessary, add more milk).
• While the pasta is cooking gently saute the onions in butter, and garlic cloves, keeps it low and slow so as not to burn the onion or garlic, which would make it bitter.
• Empty the noodles into a pre-heated bowl: mix in cheese and pepper. Top with onions which have been sauteed in butter, and garlic cloves.
• The aelplermagrone can be served at this point: often a green salad is served alongside. But if you prefer, you can also turn the mixture into a casserole and bake it in the oven long enough to brown the top nicely -- usually about twenty minutes at 400° F / 200° C.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 100 °C (212 °F).
• Boil potatoes in a saucepan without lid for 5 minutes.
• Add macaroni and cook them "al dente".
