I think even Grace Young (author of Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge/ Wok Wednesdays) has mentioned that she loves these as well (her husband is German).

You put such effort into your photos to give us a true feeling of your Christmas. I have a question Andrea about the recipe. In the procedure, it mentions grated potatoes and I know that you use potatoes in many of your baking recipes. In the recipe it mentions grated almond paste so I'm thinking that must be what you meant instead of potatoes??
