A Conversation for Potato Recipes

Rosti

Post 1

The Researcher formally known as Dr St Justin

To make a rosti, peel and grate your potato(s). Some people recommend placing the gratings in a teatowel, and squeezing the excess water out, although I'm not sure how much this helps.

Get your frying pan nice and hot, and add a couple of tablespoons of oil. Place the potato in - you can do one big rosti, which fills the whole pan, or smaller ones. For the smaller rosti, you can just place small mounds of potato in, or use a ring mould to help shape them.

Let it cook for a few minutes, and flip it over. The starch in the potato should hold it together.

It is done when both sides are as brown as you like them!

For variations, you can add small amounts of other vegetables to the potato before frying: eg onion, carrot, turnip, swede,... Any root vegetable will certainly work.
