Instructions

  1. Wash the raisins, soak them briefly in water, dry them with kitchen paper, roll them in a little flour and set aside. Heat milk in a saucepan, dissolve sugar and yeast in it and then let rise for 15 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, grate the potatoes in a bowl. Skim off the liquid and pour it away. Mix the potatoes with the yeast mixture, eggs and salt, add the flour by tablespoon and finally mix in the raisins. Cover the dough and let rise for 1.5 hours.
  3. Preheat the oven to 200 ° C (convection 180 ° C, gas mark 3-4). Grease a large loaf pan, approx. 1.5 liter capacity, with the lard and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs. Pour in the batter and cover the pan with baking paper. After about 40 minutes of baking time, switch the oven down to 150 ° C (convection 140 ° C, gas level 1-2). Total baking time approx. 75 minutes.
  4. Pickert tastes particularly good with butter and turnip tops, but you can also eat jam with it.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
