Ingredients

potatoes 500g, peeled and grated
parsnips 500g, peeled and grated
onion 1 large, grated
thyme chopped to make 2 tsp
butter 75g, plus extra for frying

Method

Step 1

Heat the oven to 180c/fan 160c/gas 4. Put the grated potato in a clean tea towel and squeeze to remove any excess moisture. Tip into a bowl with the parsnip, onion, thyme and melted butter. Season really well and mix. Divide into 6 and form into cakes.
Step 2

Heat a little butter in a large non-stick frying pan until it foams then cook each rosti for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown and crisp (you will probably need to do this in two batches). Put on a baking tray and finish cooking in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife.
