This is similar to a Mc Donalds hash brown. I also like to add chopped chives and finely chopped mild chilli to mixture for that bit extra zing. It is also traditional from place to place to add ingredients like, bacon, vegetables,cheese, onions, fresh herbs and apples. Ingredients:
8 large (about 2kg) desiree potatoes, peeled. or you can use pontiac |
1 large brown onion, coarsely grated |
60g butter, melted |
vegetable or caonola oil, to shallow fry |
2 ripe avocados, peeled, stone removed, cut into thick wedges. |
12 slices (about 300g) smoked salmon |
1 small red onion, very thinly sliced |
1/2 cup (125g) creme fraiche, can be replaced by (yoghurt or sour cream) |
lemon wedges, to serve |
chopped chives, to serve |

regional varieties can include, bacon,vegetables, cheese, onions,fresh herbs, and apples |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 100c. Peal the potaote's. Use a coarse grater to grate the potaoe's. Place in a colander and add the coarsely grated brown onion.
2. Use your hands to squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the melted butter and stir to combine. Season well with sea salt flakes and freshly ground black pepper.
3. Add enough oil to a large non-stick frying pan to reach a depth of 1cm and place over medium-high heat, Spoon two1/2-cup portions of potato mixture into the pan. Use an egg lifter to flatten each portion to a 10cm disc. Cook for 3-4 minutes each side or untilgolden brown and cooked through. Use the egg lifter to transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Place in warm oven. Continue in 3 more batches with remaining potato mixture, adding and reheating oil if necessary.
4. Arrange two Rosti's on each serving dish. Top with avocado, smoked salmon, creme fraich and red onion. Sprinkle with chives. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
