SAUTE PANCAKES
ROSTI
Serves 4-6
Parboil the potatoes for 10 minutes and
allow to cool in their skins.
Peel and grate with a coarse grater. (The
potatoes are easier to grate if they are chilled.)
Use a 9-in (23-cm), heavy, non-stick
frying pan and heat up the oil and butter.
When the oil is very hot spread the
potato evenly into the pan. Turn down the heat and cook for 10 minutes.
To turn the pancake over put a plate that fits snugly inside the pan,
flip it over and slip the pancake back into the hot pan. It might not
sound like it, but it makes the operation slightly easier if you put a
bread board on top of the plate.
Cook for a further 10 minutes. If the pan seems rather dry, add more
butter and oil. Season well, slip on to a plate and serve.
