Rosti Potatoes With Bacon Mushrooms And Onions Tyler Food

ROSTI

Steps:

• Place potatoes in large pot of cold water to cover and add 4 tablespoons of salt to pot. Slowly bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until tender. Drain and let cool. Refrigerate potatoes overnight.
• The following day, peel potatoes and grate into a bowl. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter and melt. Add leeks and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add crumbled bacon and set aside.
• For the first Rosti:
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Add half of the remaining clarified butter and unsalted butter to a small or medium non-stick saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of the potatoes and 1/2 the leeks and spread evenly over the top. Cover evenly with 1/4 more of the potatoes. Brown the potatoes for about 5 minutes and then place a plate over the top. Flip the potatoes over, and slide them back into the pan. Brown for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Gruyere over the top and melt. Remove from the pan and place in the oven to keep warm.
• For the second Rosti:
• Add remaining clarified butter and unsalted butter to the saute pan. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes, leeks, and Gruyere. Serve immediately.

POTATO ROSTI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lower third. Generously brush a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet with oil.
• Place onions in a large bowl. Peel potatoes, and grate on the large holes of a box grater, adding them to bowl and stirring into onions as you work to prevent discoloration. Squeeze handfuls of the mixture to release excess liquid, and transfer mixture to another bowl.
• Add salt, pepper, cheese, and oil to potato mixture, and toss well to combine. Sprinkle mixture over prepared baking sheet, and press down lightly with your hands to form an even layer.
• Bake until golden, about one hour. Remove from oven, and cut into squares. Serve immediately with applesauce.

POTATO RöSTI CAKES WITH SAGE LEAVES

Steps:

• 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).
• 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.

ROSTI WITH MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• In saucepan, cover potatoes with cold water, bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender yet still firm in centre (about 15 minutes).
• Drain and cool; peel and refrigerate until chilled.
• Meanwhile, in skillet, melt 2 tbsp of the butter and cook onion & mushrooms until lightly browned.
• Transfer to bowl; refrigerate until chilled.
• Grate potatoes into large bowl; add mushroom mixture, rosemary and salt & pepper to taste.
• In 8 inch nonstick skillet, heat about 1 tbsp of remaining butter and 1 tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat; press half the potato mixture evenly over skillet.
• Reduce heat to medium; cook until underside is golden (5 to 7 minutes); invert onto plate.
• Heat about 1 tbsp butter in skillet; slide uncooked side of rosti into skillet; cook until golden (5 to 7 minutes).
• Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
• Garnish with parsley.

BASLER ROSTI WITH BACON AND ONION

Steps:

• Peel potatoes, grate or cut into thin strips and mix with the salt.
• Cut onions into very fine onion rings.
• Melt the butter and lard (or oil) in a frying pan. Add the diced bacon, onions and potato and fry gently, stirring gently and frequently. If you want a slimmer version, you can pre-cook the bacon and this way omit the bacon fat.
• Bring together into a cake and cover with an upside-down plate. Fry over gentle heat for 20 minutes.
• Pour the milk over the top and fry, covered, for about another 10 minutes. Tip out onto the plate and serve.

ROSTI WITH BACON, MUSHROOMS, ONION, AND HAVARTI

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20 minutes, drain and leave to cool.
• Peel them and using a cheese grater, grate them into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt.
• In a frying pan saute the bacon and onions and thyme.
• Add mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes until soft.
• Combine with the potatoes and mix gently, taking care not to mash them too much.
• Heat oil in a frying pan and add 3 or 4 spoonfuls of the mixture (See cook's note at the bottom.)
• Using a spatula, pat the mixture into a round flat cake.
• Brown it over a high heat.
• When the bottom side is cooked flip it over.
• Repeat with remaining potatoes to make 6 cakes.
• Put 1/2 tablespoon of butter and a slice of cheese on each cake and melt under a hot grill or broiler.
• *Cook's note: We find that it's better to cook the Rosti individually using 3 or 4 spoonfuls to serve 1 person.
