Herby Potato Rösti

I had promised H a new snack if he comes home early on this lazy snowy day.. And he suddenly pinged a while later.. saying be ready with ur Surprise snack .. Will b home in 20 minutes…

Wondering wot to do?? Immediately started browsing this lovely easy vegetarian book that I picked from the library.Came across this yummy potato snack.. Rösti.But it had different seasoning like Sage leaves & thyme. Didnt have any of them.. Was planning for an alternative seasoning.. just then my neighbour Granny came over and handed over a Shortbread cookies for Chritsmas.. They were lovely
.. I was asking her to suggest me a sesoning .. and she said.. I could use Coriander and Parsley in Rösti and they will make a lovely Scandivian dish.
H thoroughly enjoyed & relished the taste .My 22 months old moster loved it for it was just melting in his mouth … Thats the verdict..

Frying creates a lovely crispy crusty layer just apt for Rösti. They are just delicious by itself or could be served with a green salad.

INGREDIENTS:

Large Potato : 2 Nos
Chopped Coriander Leaves : 3-4 Tsp
Dried Parsley : 1.5Tsp
Cheddar Cheese : 3-4 Tsp
Olive Oil : 4  Tsp
Salt : To Taste
Freshly Ground Pepper : 1/2 -3/4 tsp

DIRECTIONS:

  • Peel the potatoes and grate on the coarse side of the grater to get the texture. Pat dry using a kitchen paper and put it in a bowl.
  • Finely chop coriander leaves . Add the herbs to the potato mixture and mix them well. Add the cheddar cheese , required salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Using Hands , shape a heapful tablespoon into a ball.Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture.
  • Heat Oil in a non stick fry pan , Now add the potato cake to the pan and flatten it with a long handled turner. Fry until golden brown in a low flame. Turn the Rösti over and cook for another 10-15 minutes until golden and cooked thoroughly.
  • Repeat the process with the rest of the potato cakes. Transfer the rösti to a serving plate and serve with ketchup or with green salad.

KITCHEN NOTES:

  • We can also par boil the potatoes before grating. I havent boiled the potatoes in this procedure.
  • Also we can use butter instead of Olive oil for a lovely butter flavour. Increase the cheese for the cheesy twist.
  • I have added Salt & pepper while preparing the potato cakes. But some people prefer to add them just over the top before serving.

These crispy Potato Rosti make a delicious side dish or a tasty snack. This vegan side dish is incredibly easy to make and great for your lunch boxes too.

Ingredients

  • 2 Potato
  • 2 Tsp Chives
  • 2 Tsp Parsley
  • 4 Tbsp Cheddar Cheese Optional
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil or Butter
  • 1/2 Tsp Ground Black Pepper
  • Salt to Taste

Instructions

  • Peel the potatoes and grate on the coarse side of the grater. Gather the grated potatoes and squeeze them out to remove the extra moisture.
  • Add the herbs, cheddar cheese (if you are using any ), salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Using Hands, shape the potato mixture into round patty. Repeat the process with the rest of the mixture.
  • Heat Oil in a non stick fry pan , Now add the prepared potato cake to the pan and flatten it gently. Fry until golden brown in a low flame for 8- 10 minutes on each side until cooked thoroughly.
  • Repeat the process with the rest of the potato cakes. Remove the rosti to a kitchen towel to absorb all the extra fat before serving.
  • Transfer the rösti to a serving plate and serve with green salad or dip of your choice.

Notes

Use Butter instead of Olive oil for buttery cakes.
For cheesy Rösti, add another 1/4 cup of cheese.

    Dear Sandhya
    Moment the new blog notification arrived from your site, I saw the heading, put 2 potato in micro and I am reading it. I am on the right track, all spices are there, some stupid amul cheese is there ( which is neither Cedar nor Mozrella :-),
    Great simple dish in deed. ( I am tempted to put roasted cumin-chili powder but I wont, because I dont make any deviation from a recipe which i am following, in the second attempt I may )
    Have a nice evening
