Rosti With Mushrooms Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20 minutes, drain and leave to cool. Peel them. Using a cheese grater, grate them into a large mixing bowl and sprinkle with salt.
• In a frying pan saute the bacon and onions. Strip the leaves off the sprigs of thyme into the pan. 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*. 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 Gruyere on each cake and melt under a hot grill or broiler. Turn the Rosti onto a plate and serve with a green salad, if desired.
