Ham and Cheese Rösti image

From Eating Well magazine March/April 2007. This is a simple dinner. All you need to add is a vegetable and dinner is on the table in under a half hour. This would also work well for a nice and easy brunch.

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large egg
1 cup ham, diced (about 5 ounces)
1 cup low-fat cheese, shredded
1 shallot, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups frozen hash brown potatoes
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

Steps:

  • Beat egg in a large bowl. Stir in ham, 1/2 cup cheese, shallot, rosemary, pepper, and salt. Add frozen potatoes and stir to combine.
  • Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  • When oil is hot (test with a drop of water; oil should sputter, but should not be smoking), pat potato mixture into an even round in the pan. Cover and cook until browned and crispy on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove pan from heat.
  • Place a rimless baking sheet on top. Wearing oven mitts, grasp the pan and baking sheet together and carefully invert, umolding the rosti onto the baking sheet.
  • Wipe out any browned bits from the skillet.
  • Return it to the heat and add the remaining oil. Slide rosti back into the pan, browned side up.
  • Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, cover and cook the second side until crispy and browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
  • Slide onto a platter and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Cut into wedges and serve.

Easy and delicious! I used a pre-made rösti mix, and it turned out great.

Very good, but I added a bit more salt and pepper to taste.

This was a delicious and easy recipe to follow. I used leftover ham and cheese, and it turned out great. The rösti was crispy and flavorful, and the ham and cheese added a nice touch of richness. I will definitely be making this again!

This is the perfect dish for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The rösti was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and the combination of ham and cheese was delicious. I'll definitely be making this again!
