Smaller portions of rosti potatoes topped with spiced yogurt, hot smoked salmon and fresh herbs.
Ingredients
  • 2 large Russet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon AP flour
  • 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 large white onion, grated
  • salt
  • pepper
  • vegetable oil and butter for frying
  • 0.5 cup full fat Greek yogurt
  • Portland Salt Co Pita Salt
  • 2 teaspoons of capers
  • juice of half a fresh lemon
  • a handful of mint, sage (or other herbs), roughly chopped
  • hot smoked salmon (rainbow trout also works!)
Instructions
  1. As I mentioned above, the most important step is the first one: squeeze any excess water out of the grated potatoes! Then put them into a bowl and mix well with the egg, flour, baking powder, and onion. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil (or butter) in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Spoon in the mixture to make 4 röstis, flattening them down with the back of a spoon into round disc shapes.
  3. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp, then set on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
  4. Mix the yogurt with lemon juice and pita salt to taste. When ready to serve, top the rosti with the yogurt first, then top with flaked pieces of the fish, capers and fresh herbs and serve immediately. I would add an extra squeeze of fresh lemon on top!
