Apple Rösti

Ingredients:

• 2 large or 3 medium-sized apples, peeled and grated
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Vegetable oil for frying

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated apples, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter. Pour the egg mixture into the apple mixture and stir until well combined.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
4. Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop the apple mixture into the hot skillet and flatten it with a spatula to form a pancake shape.
5. Cook the rösti for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Transfer the cooked rösti to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
7. Serve the apple rösti warm with sour cream or applesauce on top, if desired.

Verdict:

Apple rösti is a delicious and unique twist on the traditional potato rösti. The grated apples give it a sweet and slightly tart flavor, while the cinnamon adds a warm and cozy spice. It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the perfect comfort food for a chilly evening.

Serving suggestions:

• Serve apple rösti as a side dish with pork chops or sausages.
• Top it with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce for a sweet and savory contrast.
• Add some smoked salmon to the top for a fancy breakfast or brunch dish.
