Batata Rosti

Batata Rosti is a crispy and golden Brazilian potato dish, showcasing the simplicity and heartiness of potatoes with a delightful vegan twist. Perfect as a side dish, it combines the flavors of garlic and herbs, making it a must-try for any meal.

Ingredients

• Potatoes - 400 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons (optional for a cheesy flavor)

Steps

1. Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, minced garlic, chopped onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, and nutritional yeast (if using). Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add half of the potato mixture, pressing it down to form a compact, even layer.
4. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the rosti using a large plate and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet.
5. Slide the uncooked side of the rosti back into the skillet and cook for another 7-10 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
6. Once cooked, transfer the rosti to a plate, slice into wedges, and serve warm.
