What is a German potato grater called?
I know of this grater via German cooking, but it may NOT be specific to Germany. Regardless, I am trying to determine the name of this kind of grater so I can purchase one. The grater is actually raised up on the side you rub the potato on, exactly like I have nutmeg graters.
Here are some pictures.
Can anyone tell me the name of tis grater? Bonus if you can point me to a website that sells them.
Thanks

Kartoffelreibe Is the German name for it I just try to find one to buy but they on ebay and the shipping is unexplainable high, for the Kartoffelreibe about 10 they charge 80 for shipping. Would settle for a used one.
