Two ways to do-up thin potatoes. Make a quick potato dish.
Rosti potatoes are thin, crisp grated potato pancakes. Top them with poached eggs and they make a heavenly supper. Serve with sliced tomatoes, and/or sliced warmed ham or bacon.
Rotsi Potatoes
- 4 servings.
Ingredients:
- 8 medium potatoes (about 2½ lbs.)
- 1/3 cup melted margarine.
- 1 tsp. salt.
- ½ tsp. pepper.
- 4 eggs for the poaching.
- Peel and quarter the potatoes. In a pot cover with cold salted water; cover and bring to boil; cooking for 5 – 6 minutes.
- Partially cooked, but still firm; let cool then grate.
- In a skillet, heat part of the margarine till it sizzles.
- Add potatoes, press flat into large pan cake shape.
- Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
- Using a knife, run it along the edge of the pan to loosen it, so the fry pan spatula, can be used to lift.
- Cook for 6 – 10 minutes, until golden brown.
- Cook the other side the same.
- In the meantime cook the eggs, and drain.
- Arrange on top the rosti potato pancakes.
Cheese – warmed on the egg, just as it is finished being cooked, making it Eggs Benedict of sorts.
