Apple & Potato Rosti Fritters

Ingredients

• 2 medium apples, cored
• 1 medium washed potato
• 1 large egg, whisked
• 1 spring onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup wholemeal flour
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 2 Tbsp olive oil, for cooking

To serve

• 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt
• 1 Tbsp chopped mint
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Honey, optional

Method

• Grate apple and potato into a large bowl. Add egg, onion, flour and salt, and stir until well combined. Divide into 12 portions, approximately 1/4 cup each.
• Add a quarter of the oil (2 tsp) to a large skillet over medium heat. Drop 4 mounds of apple mixture into the pan and press tops gently with a metal spatula to flatten.
• Cook 3 – 4 minutes until golden. Flip and cook a further 3 – 4 minutes. Move fritters to a paper towel-lined rack and repeat with remaining oil and apple mixture.
• In a small bowl, stir together yoghurt, mint, and lemon juice. Season to taste with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Serve fritters warm, with mint yoghurt and a drizzle of honey.

Tips

• For a sweet rosti, omit onion and stir 1/2 tsp cinnamon into the batter.
