Tried Älplermagronen, definitely feels Swiss

It has a very safe taste. Feels like it's connected to mac n cheese (but it has potatoes). Apparently they often serve it with apple compote, which works ok, but I like it better without

This looks good! Never had it with bacon, always with ham instead, but bacon does sound good as well.

Some personal tips:

  • Don't skimp on the cheese (!!)
  • Warm up some milk, add the cheese and season with nutmeg
  • You don't just have to cook the onions but actually make something called "Zwiebelschwitze". Fry the onions with plenty of butter until they are golden, but not too dark
  • In addition, it's also nice to add some fried onions ("Röstzwiebeln", can be bought like a spice)
  • Then mix the milk and cheese sauce with the potatoes and magronen (pasta) in a large gratin dish and season with salt and pepper
  • Cover the gratin dish with the onions and more cheese and put it in the oven for a few minutes to create a nice crust

Sounds good

If you really want to be Swiss, you need to have schnaps with it. Or better, put some in.

Now I want some 😢

Btw. not that it matters but you usually use Maccheroni.

Ah, you're right. I was unsure if there were different names, but now I know: I used elbow macaroni instead of normal macaroni/maccheroni

It has a very safe taste.

What does that mean?

Like, when the majority of the taste is salt and umami, and there are few spices or "risky" flavours. Tasting safe is being inoffensive and accessible, but less exciting
