POLOKWANE – Potatoes are one of the greatest vegetables because they can be cooked in so many different ways.
Rösti dishes are made with coarsely grated potato, either cooked or raw. Known as a popular Swiss dish, the potatoes are either parboiled or grated raw.
The grated potatoes are shaped into rounds or patties and are most often pan-fried and shaped in the frying pan during cooking, but they can also be baked in the oven.
Ingredients
- 1kg waxy potatoes, washed and peeled
- 300g bacon, chopped
- 30ml olive oil
- 1 x onion, sliced
- 2 x KNORR Vegetable Stock Pot
- 100g frozen peas, defrosted
- 100g gruyere cheese, grated
Method
- Preheat oven to 190°C.
- Add the potatoes to a pot and cover with water and bring to the boil. Simmer for 15 minutes, until half cooked. Drain and set aside to cool.
- Heat a frying pan. Add the bacon and cook for 3 minutes on medium heat, until bacon starts to brown. Add the onion and half of the oil. Cook for 3 minutes, until onion has softened and bacon is crispy. Reduce to low heat, add the Knorr Vegetable Stock pot and cook for 2 minutes until stock melts.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, grate them coarsely into a bowl. Toss with the remaining olive oil and stir through the bacon, onions, peas and cheese.
- Spread out the mixture evenly into an oven proof dish. Bake in the oven for 1 hour until the potato is cooked through and the top is crisp and golden.
