Swiss macaroni and potatoes with cheese, cream and apple sauce.
About Älplermagronen
Swissmilk presents älplermagronen with roast onions and apple sauce as a Swiss classic. Its representative combines potatoes and macaroni with grated cheese and full cream, with the apple component served alongside.
Cheese and cream provide the rich savoury base, seasoned with salt, pepper and nutmeg. The apple sauce combines apples, apple juice, sugar and cinnamon for a sweet, fruity contrast.
The macaroni and potato pieces sit in cheese layers beneath crisp flour-coated onions. The creamy mixture and crunchy topping form the dish’s main texture contrast, and the source explicitly presents it hot.
