Brunch Rosti Recipes

BRUNCH ROSTI

Steps:

• Wrap the grated potato in a clean tea towel and squeeze over the sink to remove as much liquid as you can. Tip into a bowl and mix with 1 tbsp olive oil, the thyme leaves and some salt and pepper. Shape into two patties. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a low-medium heat and fry the patties for 8-10 mins on each side until golden, crisp and cooked through.
• Meanwhile, heat the grill. Whisk the remaining oil with the garlic and some seasoning and brush over the mushrooms and tomato halves. Grill for 8 mins until lightly golden and tender.
• Remove the cooked rosti from the pan and keep warm. Add the spinach to the pan with a grating of nutmeg. Cook for 2-3 mins until wilted, then season.
• Put the rosti onto two plates. Top each with a little of the spinach, then the Hellmann's Vegan Baconnaise, mushroom and tomato, finishing with the remaining spinach.

RöSTI

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain them and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel the potatoes, then refrigerate them until chilled, for at least 1 hour. Lastly, grate them using the large holes on a cheese grater; reserve on the side.
• Heat lard or butter and oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When melted, add potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and mix well, coating the potatoes with fat. Then, gently press the potatoes using a spatula, molding them to fit the skillet. Cook, occasionally shaking, until edges are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
• When one side is done, cover the skillet with a large plate and invert the rösti over onto it, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side of the fritter. Fry until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Lastly, transfer onto a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and cut into wedges to serve.
