Green Day Slimming world rosti.

[Dave23]

Hallo
I've not been on the forum for a while but wanted to get back into it.
I'm thinking of trying a free on green potato rosti and I want to oven bake it and not fry it.
Has any one had any luck doing it this way?
Thanks
D

Hello Dave
Ive made rosti's in the frying pan, not in the oven & dont use any oil only Frylight. So, if you're interested my rosti's are:
Grate raw potato, grate raw carrot (omit if you dont like carrot, could use onion if you prefer), 1 egg & seasonong
Squeeze out any 'juice' from the potato & bind with the carrot & egg
Mould into pattie shape & gently 'fry' both sides until cooked....you can undercook them & pop into the oven until cooked. You could use 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil (6 Syns) if you prefer that to Frylight
Hope that helps........free on Green & Extra Easy

Hallo
I've kinda made them the same as your's.
They're in the oven now so fingers crossed!
Thanks

Ive done them in the oven before. They'll be fine as long as you squeeze as much water as you can out of the grated veg before you put them in. I grate the veg, lay it out on a tea towel then roll it up and wring the living daylights out of it Then mix them in the egg and whatever else you're using, to bind, and cook in the oven in a bit of Fry Light.

It can help to cook them covered to make sure everything cooks through and goes soft, then take the foil off to crisp them up for a bit at the end.

That actually sounds lovely I'm not doing slimming world though I'm doing weightwatchers but I don't think that should be Many points I think I'll try it .
Quick question do I boil the carrots to cook them first or do I just grate an mix with the potatoe ? Thanks

Yes they are delicious....no you dont need to boil anything before hand, just make sure you get rid of any excess fluid from the pots & carrots before you bind with the egg & cook them fairly slowly in a very good non stick frying pan with some frylight. They become nice & crispy on the outside & moist in the middle....dont forget to season to taste before cooking.
However, if you did cook the pots & carrots before hand it would cut down on the cooking time of them in the frying pan, but I dont think you would get that nice 'rosti' texture as the pots & carrots would be all mushy, more like a 'bubble & squeak' pattie!

I've made another type with instant mash.
Make it up but very thick, add fried onion and garlic (fried in fry light).
Make them into palm sized patties and fry in fry light until browned.

You can use real mash, great for left overs.
