Wash, peel and grate the potatoes in a bowl. Drain well over a hair sieve, then mix with the finely chopped onions. Cut the ham into fine cubes and add the sour cream to the mixture. Add the flour with the eggs, stir everything well, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Mix in the grated cheese.
Heat the clarified butter in a pan, pour the mixture into the fat in portions, press lightly and bake the buffers on both sides until golden yellow.
We like them best when we use a smoked cheese instead of Emmentaler.
Just add a salad and you have a delicious, uncomplicated and inexpensive lunch.
