Potato & Apple Rosti
Delicious on their own or served with smoked salmon!
Ingredients
- 60g unsalted butter
- 1 large red apple (plus extra, sliced, to serve)
- 500g washed red potatoes
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- crème fraîche (to serve)
- 2 eggs, whisked
- 1 tbs sage leaves, shredded (plus extra leaves to garnish)
- smoked salmon (to serve)
Method
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Shred potatoes and apple using a mandolin or grater. To prevent browning, place into a bowl of iced water and juice. Drain well and pat dry, pressing firmly with a clean tea towel. Return to the bowl. Add sage, ginger and egg and season to taste. Toss to coat evenly.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of the butter. When butter has melted, add 1/2 cup portions of the potato mixture and press to flatten. Cook for 5 minutes until base is golden. Flip over and cook for about 4 minutes until golden. Transfer to oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining butter and mixture.
- Serve with smoked salmon, crème fraîche, extra apple slices and garnish with fried sage leaves (see tip).
Handy Tips
In a small frying pan, fry sage leaves, a few at a time, in hot olive oil until crisp. Drain on paper towel.
