Potato, ham & Bramley apple rosti

Potato, ham & Bramley apple rosti

A delicious potato, ham and Bramley apple rosti - perfect for lunch or light dinner

  • Preparation: 15 mins
  • Cooking: 10 mins
  • Serves: 6

What you need:

  • 400g potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 1 Bramley apple (approx 200g), peeled, cored and grated
  • 100g mature cheddar, grated
  • 75g sliced ham, cut into small pieces
  • 75g creme fraiche
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

What you do:

  1. Place the potatoes and apple in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Tip into a bowl and add the cheese, ham, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, chives, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
  2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a low-medium heat, and add a good trickle of oil. Divide the rosti mixture into 6 and spoon into the frying pan (doing in a couple of batches of your pan isn't big enough), pressing down with the back of the spoon to give a flat surface. Cook for about 5 minutes before carefully turning over and continuing to cook for a further 5 minutes, until both sides are golden and crisp. Serve straight away.

Cook's tip:

If you prefer to make these a vegetarian rosti, simply omit the ham. A tasty addition is to add some finely chopped sundried tomato or if you are making these for kids, they will love a couple of tablespoons of sweetcorn added to the mixture.
