More often than not, Roesti form a part of one of my breakfasts on the weekend. They're so easy to make and can take on all kinds of flavours. This morning's was plain, topped with a bit of wilted spinach, 2 poached eggs and a bit of cheddar sauce. Yum. I also like them with a bit of ham or smoked sausage diced really fine and mixed in or even better, smoked meat! But I digress. This is what I did this morning.
Wash a single bakers potato and peel it if you like. I left the peeling on this time. Grate the potatoe into a bowl and let it sit for a few minutes. Dice some onion really small, or grate it if you like, and grate some cheddar, keeping both on the side. Collect the grated potatoes in your hands and squeeze them to get as much of the moisture out of them as you can. Put them back in the bowl and add the onion and cheddar. Give it a few grinds of black pepper and some salt if you need it. Be careful though, the ingredients your adding (ham, smoked meat, cheddar) are often salty enough and you don't need to add any. Place a pan on high heat and add a bit of oil, about 1 tbsp or enough to coat the bottom of, the pan nicely. When the oil is hot, add the potato mixture to the pan, forming it into a cake as it sizzles. Turn the heat down to medium and let it cook on one side for a few minutes until it's golden brown. If it sticks to the pan, loosen it by sliding a spatula under it. Flip it and cook on the other side for a few more minutes or until it's done. Eat it as it is or add your favourite breakfast toppings!
