Parsnip, Potato and Gruyere Rösti

How to make it

Have your own Alpine-fest with this tasty twist on traditional rösti. The parsnip adds a little sweetness to the savoury potato and nutty flavour of Gruyere.

• Peel the parsnips and potatoes
• Using the coarse side of the grater grate the potatoes and parsnips. Squeeze out any excess liquid
• Peel and slice the onion
• Peel and crush the garlic
• chop the sage
• Combine the potatoes, parsnips, onion, garlic and sage and generously season
• Stir in the egg until the mixture is well combined
• Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. When hot, spread half of the mixture over the base of the pan. Scatter over the Gruyere, then top with the remaining vegetable mixture, spreading it flat
• Cook over a low heat for about 10 minutes until golden underneath
• Using a big spatula, slide the rösti onto a large plate then flip back into the pan to cook the other side for another 10 minutes.
• Once the vegetables are cooked and tender, it’s ready to serve.
