Potato, ham and Bramley apple rosti recipe
A warming side to any main, Jo Pratt's rostis are made from apple, potato, cheese, ham, crème fraîche, chopped chives and a little mustard.
Tip: If you prefer to make these a vegetarian rösti, simply omit the ham. A tasty addition is to add some finely chopped sundried tomato or if you are making these for kids, they will love a couple of tablespoons of sweetcorn added to the mixture.

Step-by-step
- Place the potatoes and apple in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Tip into a bowl and add the cheese, ham, crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, chives, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a low-medium heat, and add a good trickle of oil. Divide the rösti mixture into 6 and spoon into the frying pan (doing in a couple of batches of your pan isn't big enough), pressing down with the back of the spoon to give a flat surface. Cook for about 5 minutes before carefully turning over and continuing to cook for a further 5 minutes, until both sides are golden and crisp. Serve straight away.
