Ingredients

• Ingredients 2 baking potatoes 1 large apple 1 pear Rock salt Cooking oil A pinch of nutmeg, chilli flakes or your own preferred seasoning

Preparation

• Method Peel the potatoes and chop into halves and boil for 7 minutes. Drain the potatoes and give them time to cool enough for you to be able to hold them without burning yourself! Then grate the potatoes. Peel and grate the apple and pear and them mix them with the grated potatoes. You need to get as much moisture out of the mix as you can- squeeze it, pat it with a towel. Add salt and your seasonings. Separate the mix into 4 equal parts and make circles with them; think burger shaped. Really try and press the mix together to help it bind. Add enough oil to a frying pan to cover the bottom and fry the rostis for roughly 8-10 minutes each side. But use your judgement here, you want them starting to crisp on the outside. NOTE: Now in theory the rostis should be done now. However if they are not binding well (and they don’t always) then put them in a preheated oven for 5 minutes to finish them off.
