BAKED RöSTI POTATOES

Steps:

• Spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Combine all remaining ingredients except egg. Add egg; mix lightly. Press onto bottom of baking dish.

• Let stand 10 min. before cutting to serve.

OVEN-BAKED ROSTI CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Line a 20.5cm (8in) cake tin with one large piece of baking parchment. Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes. Pile the grated potato on to a clean tea towel, gather up the corners and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
• Empty the squeezed potato into a large bowl and mix in the flour, egg, crushed garlic, grated onion, melted butter and plenty of seasoning. Pile mixture into the lined tin and push down to level the surface. Cover with aluminium foil and cook for 30min. Remove foil and cook for a further 20min or until rosti is crispy and brown on top - the exact time needed can vary depending on the depth of the tin.
• Leave the rosti to settle in the tin for 5min, then transfer to a serving plate. Serve in slices.

OVEN-BAKED RöSTI CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Dry-fry the bacon in a pan for 5 mins until crisp, then chop into small pieces. Boil the whole potatoes for 5 mins, drain, then place in a bowl of chilled water.
• When cool enough to handle, pat the potatoes dry and roughly grate into a large bowl. Toss with the oil as you go, to stop them from sticking. Roughly grate the onion and squeeze out any excess juice, then stir into the potatoes along with the bacon.
• Place a baking sheet in the oven for 5 mins to warm through. Liberally grease a 23cm loose-bottomed cake tin with butter. Scatter the potato over the tin, trying not to pack it down, then dot all over the top with butter. Place on the hot baking sheet and bake in the oven for 1 hr 20 mins until the potatoes are cooked through and crisp on top.

HERBED RöSTI POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Cover potatoes generously with well-salted cold water in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer potatoes, partially covered, until they are just barely tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Transfer potatoes to a colander using a slotted spoon, rinse under cold water to stop the cooking, and dry.
• Chill potatoes on a plate, uncovered, at least 8 hours.
• Peel potatoes and coarsely grate into a large bowl. Add thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper, then drizzle with 2 tablespoons butter and toss mixture well.
• Heat oven to 375°F with rack in middle.
• Heat oil and 1 tablespoon butter in skillet over medium-high heat until foam subsides, then add potato mixture and tamp it down firmly in skillet with a rubber spatula, smoothing the top.
• Reduce heat to medium and cook potato cake, covered with a lid, until edges begin to turn golden, about 5 minutes.
• Remove lid, then bake potato cake, uncovered, 10 minutes.
• Brush top of potato cake with remaining 2 tablespoons butter.
• Turn on broiler and broil potato cake, 4 to 5 inches from heat, until golden brown, 3 to 7 minutes.
• Remove skillet from oven carefully (wear oven mitts!). Run the rubber spatula around the edge of the cake to loosen it from the skillet.
• Invert a large round heat-proof plate over skillet and invert potato cake onto plate.
• Cut into wedges and serve.
