Instructions
- Grate potatoes on large holes of box grater; set aside. Grate apples around the core, and transfer to a paper towel lined colander or strainer, pressing out as much liquid as possible. Toss apples with potatoes, onions, sage, salt, pepper and egg.
- In large heavy-bottomed non-stick skillet, melt 1 tbsp (15 mL) of butter at a time over medium heat. Press the apple and potato mixture by the tablespoonful into small discs, arranging in skillet 2-inches (5 cm) apart. Use spatula to flatten slightly. Cook until bottom is golden, about 3-4 minutes. Flip over and cook apple and potato rösti until underside is golden, about 3-4 minutes more.
- Repeat with remaining mixture. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and keep warm until ready to serve.
Recipe Notes
Tip: For the tastiest result, we recommend using fresh, local apples. Drain the apples very well to ensure a crisp texture on the outside of the rösti.
