In contrast to the original with pickled pork knuckle and mayonnaise-laden tartar sauce, our home cooking is a "lightweight" in terms of fat and calories. On the one hand, this is due to the lean slices of pork salmon (the detached back), and on the other hand to the yoghurt in the delicious tartar sauce - no one will miss mayonnaise here...

As a side dish, fried potatoes are almost a must: cut peeled, raw tubers into approx. 5 mm thick slices and spread on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Spread a wafer-thin layer of oil, salt and pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200-220 °C (gas: level 3-4; convection oven not recommended) for about 40 minutes until golden brown. In this way, even the fried potatoes do not burden the fat and calorie account!
