ONION , POTATO AND BACON ROSTI

Ingredients....6 potatoes ( about 800gm ), 250 gm of bacon pieces, 1 large red onion, 2 tbs of butter/ marg, 2 tbs of sesame oil, ground nutmeg , cracked black pepper. The first thing to do is wash the poataoes and peel them thinly, then place them a pot of salted boiling water and boil for 15 minutes. Now drain ,dry on paper towelling and chill the potatoes for 2 hours. When the potatoes are chilled, grate them roughly into a large bowl. Peel the onion and place in the food processor and process roughly and now mix with the grated potatoes. Place the bacon pieces in a frypan and fry until browned, now turn the bacon pieces into the bowl with the potatoes and onion adding 1 dsp of ground nutmeg and 1/2 tsp of cracked pepper. Use a butter knife to mix. The next step is to shape the potato mixture into 8 flat round patties. Heat the butter with the oil and cook the rostis 4 at a time for 4 minutes on each side. Press the rosti down firmly when you turn them . Serve the rosti hot. I love rosti served topped with egg and salmon, another great combination is sausages topped with an egg. It is your dish serve it as you like.
