Method

  • step 1

    Squeeze any excess water out of the grated potatoes, then tip into a bowl and mix well with the egg, flour, baking powder, onion and chopped sage leaves. Season well. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, and spoon the mixture in to make 4 röstis, flattening them down with the back of a spoon into disc shapes. Cook for 5 mins each side until golden brown and crisp, then drain on kitchen paper. Can be made up to 8 hrs in advance and kept in the fridge (see tip).

  • step 2

    When ready to serve, heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil in the frying pan over a medium heat. Add the whole sage leaves and cook for 20 secs until crisp but still green. Drain on kitchen paper and top each rösti with a fried sage leaf.

RECIPE TIPS
GET AHEAD

You can cook the röstis up to 8 hours in advance, then warm them through in the oven at 160C/140C fan/gas 3 before serving. If you have roasted meat in the oven, the ideal moment to do this is when the meat is resting.

Really didn’t work. Very ‘cakey’ and not pleasant.

question

Can these be brushed with oil and cooked in a shallow metal tray the oven rather than fried?

johnbank180854881

Fried and then finished off in the oven, best way. That will get rid of some oil too in the process as rosties soak it up quite a bit

Totally delicious. I just added more salt. Whole family loved these!

Not a rosti as I’ve always known it to be, and frankly quite unpleasant. The use of flour and baking powder turns it in to more of a cake and loses the essential texture. Obviously a lot of other people seem to like it but it got a clear thumbs down in our house.
