Answer 3

Dear Kath. Don,t make life hard for yourself. M ake Rosti. It,s supposed to have to wee dots over the o. tellyour guests that you learned that from a swiss expert! Any good potatoes; maris piper, kerrs pinks, or those excellent rooster spuds. Grate the potato or two( you get an awful lot from each spud}. Do something similar with onoin and keep the pulses on your wrists cold and wet with frequent applications of the cold tap. NOW, the important bit. Put the shredded potato in atea towel sock or whatever is to hand, or foot. Squeeze and twist until you have as much water out as possible. Without water, it fries beautifully. That,s it. Well seasoned or s steel frying pan, with a flat base for preference, rapeseed, corn, or any cheap cooking oil,about three tblspoons in an11or 12inc diameter pan, moderate heat: youve got to give it time. Place a thin 1/4in thick layer of potato and onion in the pan spreading it evenly overthe base. NOW LEAVE IT.  No poking or prodding until you see the base brown nicely, adjust the heat so it browns and doesnt burn. No rush. When that,s done, fish slice palette knife, wallpaper scraper, anlift gentlt in one piece and turn over. Repeat browning, then pop onto your plate ,salt pepper, and enjoy. Good luck and happy eating

Sounds like Rosti to me

Answer 5

Rosti -

Ingredients

1 kg starchy potatoes (baking, russets or all purpose)

100 g butter

Salt and black pepper

2 clean tea towels

Method

Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes

Dry the grated potatoes by heaping them on a clean tea towel, gathering the corners together, wrapping them up and squeezing to press out as much water as possible. Repeat this with a second clean tea towel

Lightly season the potatoes with salt and black pepper

Add any extras - fresh herbs, grated onions or finely chopped bacon

Melt half of the butter in a non stick frying pan (approx 9 inch diameter)

Wait for the foam to subside and spread the potato mixture over the hot pan to make a cake, tuck more butter around the sides of the pan, press the cake with a spoon or spatula

Cook on a low heat for 15 - 20 minutes, pressing occasionally

Once the rosti is brown and crispy on the underside, loosen, place a large plate on top and invert

Add the remaining butter and then slide the uncooked side into the pan and cook for around 10 minutes until browned

If using cheese add 5 minutes before you think the rosti will be done

Rosti can be reheated or eaten cold but is best served immediately
