Beetroot rösti

Beetroot rösti or beet rösti as it's probably known in the USA. Our friends recently cooked us this unusual variation on the Potato rosti. This is one of the best accompaniments I have cooked in ages, absolutely delicious with an almost toffee texture and sweetness and quite spectacular looking.

Serving suggestions

Cut into slices and serve hot or at room temperature.

A dollop of crème fraîche is especially good if they are hot.

Chef's notes

I have tried this recipe with raw beetroots and with pre cooked beetroots (not in vinegar though!). Everyones opinion was that the pre cooked version was sweeter and far superior. Pre-cooked beetroots tend to hold more moisture, so give them a good squeeze to remove any excess liquid before adding the flour.
