Hints and Tips

Only use waxy potatoes such as Red, Royal Blue or Pontiac for the rosti.

For the rosti, grate the potatoes with a box grater and wrap in a tea towel and leave for 10 minutes.

Squeeze as much water as possible out of grated potatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Now grate the onion and add that to the grated potatoes along with the beaten egg and salt & pepper.

Mix together until well combined.

Heat oil in a large fry pan and add a quarter cup of the potato mixture to the pan and flatten with spatula.

Cook over a medium heat for about 4-5 minutes each side.  Remove from pan and keep warm.

Repeat with reamining mixture.

To assemble, place two rostis on a serving plate & top with smoked salmon & avocado cream.  Serve with a side of mixed tomatoes and sprinkle with coriander (cilantro)

To make the avocado cream, place all the ingredients in a small food processor and blitz until you have a smooth and creamy texture.
