Oops I did it again

Sorry folks. We just couldn't help it. Scarfed down the sausages, scrambled eggs, and roesti before I could take a picture.

I loved the roesti as did BH. Here's the recipe (adapted from cooks illustrated) for those we want to give a try.

3-4 yukon gold or granola potatoes, peeled and grated using biggest hole on box grater
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon corn flour
1/2 teaspoon white pepper (I prefer white cos it looks less like burnt charcoal bits)
Unsalted butter

Rinse grated potatoes and drain in colander. Use a clean wash cloth and squeeze out liquid from the grated potato.

Add salt and cornflour and combine well.

If you have a tiny one-egg frying pan, you can use that and fry up 3 mini roesti cakes. Or if using a regular fry pan, just one large roesti. Heat pan over medium high heat, place 2 tbs of butter in pan, and wait for butter to stop foaming.

Even out the grated potato mix in pan till it forms a cake. Let it cook for 5min or till golden brown. Flip it onto a plate, repeat with butter on pan, and slide roesti onto pan with cooked side up. Fry for another 5 mins.

Slide out onto chopping board, cut and serve with full fat sour cream and chopped chives. Yum.

We had a great breakfast today. Hope you did too!
