RODA'S POTATO ROSTI VARIATIONS

RODA'S  POTATO ROSTI

The rosti is such an amazingly simple meal to put together but in our global world it is important to reach out to as many people as possible with variations of the main dish.


BASIC
3/4 kg potatoes, lightly boiled in their jackets and coarsely grated
100 gms diced bacon
lard for cooking
salt 

FOR VEGETARIANS
Replace bacon with finely chopped onions
2 tablespoons thick coconut cream  (it may otherwise seem too dry)


FOR PARSEES
Add lightly sauteed prawns with garlic to give that bit of punch.
2 tablespoons of coconut cream  


In a  non-stick pan add the lard and heat. Add the bacon and potatoes and fry. Gather it all in a circle and raise the heat till crisp underneath.
If the potatoes get too dry add a bit of coconut cream (which is mild and will not affect the flavour of the rosti. This is important as otherwise it would not be a rosti, which is noted for being mildly flavoured  with either bacon or onion only. Place the rosti onto a serving dish with the crisp underneath surface facing up.
