Cooking Instructions for making Root Vegetable Rösti
Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
Use a box grater to shred your root veggies coarsely into a clean tea cloth.
Pick up the corners of the tea cloth, and squeeze out the juice from the grated veggies. Collect the juice in a bowl, and you can add it to a healthy smoothie.
Open up the cloth and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the grated veggies. This will draw out more moisture. Leave for 5 minutes, and then squeeze again. The more moisture you remove, the better.
Place flour into a bowl, and beat in an egg to make a loose batter.
Add the grated, squeezed veggies and stir well to coat.
Heat oil in frying pan. When it’s hot drop spoonfuls of the mix into the oil. (Watch out for splashes!) Press into flat cakes. This recipe should make 4 röstis.
Turn the röstis when crisped and brown (after around 4-5 minutes) and cook the other side.
When both sides are crispy, put on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven to keep warm, while you finish making all the röstis, and fry an egg per person to serve.
