The dish is popular in the Rhineland, Westphalia, Lower Saxony and, historically, in Silesia. It has been known since the 18th century. In the Rhineland the dish is frequently written Himmel un Ääd, to reflect local dialect pronunciation.
Nameedit
The name of the dish alludes to "earth apples" (Erdäpfel, a Southern German name for potatoes) and "sky apples", meaning apples from trees. The German Himmel means both 'sky' and 'heaven'.[1]
Dutch variantedit
Mashed potato with apples is also popular in the Gelderland and North Brabant regions of the Netherlands, where it is known as hete bliksem ('hot lightning'). The Dutch variant usually mixes the potatoes and apples together as a stamppot and may add stewed pears.
