Vegan rösti potatoes

By BaxterStorey 19 Feb 2020

Rösti potatoes are perfect if you're looking to cook and stay on a budget. They are delicious, easy and a great source of protein. Make a big batch and then freeze for simple evening meals.

Ingredients

500g/16oz potatoes, peeled and grated
200g/7oz firm tofu, patted dry and crumbled into small pieces
Handful of fresh spinach or rocket, roughly chopped
3 tbsp gram (chickpea) flour, mixed with 3 tbsp warm water in a small bowl
2 tbsp plain flour
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp salt
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Method

Pat dry the tofu, before crumbling it into a mixing bowl with the grated potato.
Add the spinach or rocket, gram flour mixture, cumin, plain flour, salt and pepper and stir the ingredients.
Shape the mixture into 6 round rosti, be firm with it but try not to over handle. If it is too wet to hold its shape, add a little more flour.
Add a little oil to a large, non-stick frying pan and fry on a medium heat, turning half way through, until golden. Press down the rosti and encourage them to keep their shape using a fish slice.
Serve with a small side salad or leaves and tomatoes and a tablespoon of hummus (optional).
