Potato Rosti Brunch Recipes

CRISPY POTATO ROSTI

Steps:

• Peel then grate the potatoes using a box grater, trying to get nice long strands if you can.
• Grab handfuls of potato and squeeze out excess liquid, then place in bowl. This helps make the potato crispier (otherwise all that water has to steam out in the pan).
• Add butter, salt and pepper then toss. Don't worry if your potatoes go brown/reddy - it's still safe to eat, and turns white again when cooked.
• Melt half the clarified butter in a 26cm / 10.5" (or thereabouts) non-stick pan or skillet over medium low heat. Shallow non-stick pan with sloped sides is best for easy rosti removal.
• Place the potato in pan, but do not pack down. Use rubber spatula to tidy the edges, then lightly pat down to even surface.
• Cook first side: Cook 12 minutes until underside is very golden and crispy, lifting edge with rubber spatula to check. If by 8 minutes it is not going golden, increase heat.
• TIP: Insurance policy - If you didn't use a non stick pan, slide the rubber spatular underneath all the way to the middle and run it around, to be 100% sure nothing is stuck before attempting flip.
• Flip: Cover pan with a round wooden board with a handle (or anything similar with a handle, Note 3). Holding the handle of the board, flip quickly - and with confidence!
• Cook second side: Melt remaining clarified butter in the pan, then slide the rosti back in and cook for 12 minutes until golden crispy, and there is no resistance when a knife is inserted into the middle.
• Slide onto cutting board, cut into 4 or 6 wedges and serve immediately!
• Use 25g / 1 1/2 tbsp clarified butter for each batch, medium heat in a non stick pan. Place potato in rounds in a skillet, around 8cm / 3" wide, 1.5 - 2cm / 2/3" thick (without patting down). Cook 5 minutes until deep golden and crispy, flip, and cook another 5 minutes until done.
• Transfer to rack set over tray in a 120°C/250°F oven until ready to serve.

ROSTI POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shred potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap potatoes in a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out liquid. Place in a medium bowl; toss with salt and pepper.
• Heat half the butter in a 9- or 10-inch ovenproof nonstick saute pan over medium-low heat. Spread potatoes in pan evenly; press down with a spatula to flatten cake. Cook until bottom is golden and turning crisp, about 18 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat. Invert cake onto a plate; slide back into pan. Return to heat, and spoon remaining butter around edges of pan. Cook until other side begins to get crisp, about 10 minutes, shaking pan several times to loosen.
• Transfer to oven until cooked through and tender in the center, about 12 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve.

CELERIAC AND POTATO ROSTI BRUNCH

Steps:

• Put the potatoes and celeriac in a pan of boiling salted water with the lemon juice.
• Cook for 8 minutes.
• Drain, cool for 10 minutes, then peel the celeriac.
• Grate the celeriac and potatoes into a bowl.
• Add the cheese, oil, herbs and seasonings.
• Set the oven to fairly hot, 200c/400f.
• Spoon the mixture into 2 buttered ovenproof dishes and make a well in the centre.
• bake for about 20 minutes, until browned, then break an egg into each hollow and bake for about 5-10 minutes to cook egg.
• Serve immediately.

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.
