And if you fancy making these recipes for yourself, here's a reminder of the ingredients and instructions:
You'll need:
For the basic rosti recipe:
- 2⅔ lb potatoes
- salt, pepper
- grated nutmeg
- 1 tsp thyme
- 4 eggs
- 6 tbsp olive oil
Here's how:
1. For the potato mixture, first peel the potatoes, grate them into a large bowl and then press the juice out of them with the help of a dishcloth, or just your hands.
2. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg, and add the thyme. Then add the egg to the potato shavings and mix everything thoroughly; you can use a fork if you need to.
3. For the frying, you should have two pans ready, each with a diameter of 11 inches. First, let the oil heat up in one of them, spread out half of the grated potato mix evenly and bake it slowly in the olive oil over a low heat.
4. Continue as described below in Variations 1 and 2. Then spread the rest of the potato shavings on top of the filling and smooth them flat with a spoon.
5. Let the layers bake together a while longer. Next take the second pan and place it over the first pan like a lid and turn the giant rosti into it. What was the underside of the rosti should already be baked, and should be golden brown in color.
Move the rosti a little in pan and keep frying until the second side is the same color as the first.
