Potato Rosti

My kids love the rosti at Marche or Vilage. I love anything to do with potatoes too. The rosti at March is fried plain, and served with sausages. I added bacon bits to my version, and it can be eaten on its own.

4 russet potatoes--shredded roughly
4 slices back bacon--chopped
2 cloves garlic--chopped
1 onion--chopped
salt and black pepper to taste

1. Microwave the shredded potatoes on high for 2 minutes.
2. Season with a little salt and pepper.
3. Fry garlic and bacon until crispy.
4. Add to the potato mixture.
5. Using a flat non-stick pan, put small rounds of potato mixture and fry with a little oil until crispy.

Potato Salad

G loves potato salad so much that she says she can have it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. To go with roast chicken the other sunday night, I made potato salad since there are so many potatoes sitting around. G kept some of it in the fridge and indeed she wanted to have it for the next day's breakfast.

1 kg potatoes -- boiled and cubed
3 hard boiled eggs -- roughly chopped
2 sprigs of spring onion -- finely chopped
1 onion -- finely chopped
5 Tbsp mayonnaise
3 Tbsp fresh milk
Pinch of salt and pepper

Mix everything together and put it in the fridge for at least half an hour before serving.
