What you will need
- 1kg medium agria potatoes, scrubbed
- salt
- olive oil/ butter or ghee
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tbsp chopped herbs
- ½ lemon, zested
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 200g Hellers middle bacon
- 6 - 8 vine tomatoes
- 2 avocados, halved
Instructions
- Tomatoes - Place the tomatoes on a small oven tray, drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt. Place in a 170 °C oven for about 30 - 40 minutes until cooked but still whole.
- Rosti - Meanwhile place the whole potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain and cool enough to handle. Coarsely grate the potatoes on a box grater, or in a food processor. Season with salt. The mix will be quite sticky. Heat a fry pan on a medium heat and add a decent amount of oil or butter to cover the base. Place a portion of the potato mix into the hot fry pan and pat down into a circle. Cook until golden and then flip, patting the rosti down and encouraging a circle. When the other side is golden it’s done. Keep warm in a low oven. You can cook two medium or one large rosti or up to 8 small rosti, depending on the size of your fry pan.
- Herby sour cream - Mix all together and season to taste.
- To serve - Fry the bacon in a grill fry pan, until cooked. Serve the rosti with the roast tomatoes, half an avocado each, the herby sour cream, and top with the hot bacon.
