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.
