Ingredients

• 800 grams Maris Piper potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil spray
• 1 tablespoon Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Maris Piper potatoes and parboil them in a large pan of salted water for about 10 minutes until slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain well and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Once cooled, grate the potatoes coarsely using a box grater.

Step 3

Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean cheese cloth or kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy rosti.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, salt, and ground black pepper. Toss together gently with your hands until evenly seasoned.

Step 5

Coat a large non-stick frying pan with non-stick cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

Step 6

Add the grated potato mixture to the pan, spreading it out evenly to form a flat, round cake approximately 2 cm thick.

Step 7

Spray the top of the potato cake lightly with olive oil spray.

Step 8

Cook over medium-low heat for about 10-15 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy, ensuring the heat is not too high to avoid burning.

Step 9

Carefully flip the rosti using a large plate to help invert it. Spray the pan again with non-stick cooking spray before sliding the rosti back into the pan.

Step 10

Cook the other side for another 10-15 minutes until crispy and golden brown.

Step 11

Once cooked through, slide the rosti onto a serving plate, cut into wedges, and serve immediately.
