Ingredients for 4 people
400 g Hokkaido pumpkin
400 g potatoes, mainly waxy
3 eggs
100 g flour
salt
pepper
nutmeg
Oil for frying
200 g crème fraîche
1 bunch of chives
200 g Black Forest ham
Preparation
Wash the pumpkin and grate coarsely using a square grater. Peel the potato and also grate coarsely. Mix with a little salt and leave to stand for approx. 10 minutes - then squeeze out any excess liquid. Place the grated vegetables in a large bowl with the flour and eggs. Mix everything well until you have an even mixture. Season to taste with pepper, salt and a little nutmeg. Heat a pan with a little oil. Using a tablespoon, shape the mixture into a rösti, press flat and fry in the pan over a medium heat until golden brown - about 3-5 minutes per side. Make 4 rösti in this way. Garnish each hash brown with 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche, 2 tablespoons of chives and 3 slices of Black Forest ham and enjoy.
Enjoy your meal.
