Rosti
ingredients

- Lemon juice, optional
- 1 medium onion
- 3 sprigs thyme
- 1 1/2 teaspoons flour
- 1 medium egg
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 20 grams butter
Eggs & Bacon
ingredients
- 9 slices bacon
- 2 tablespoons chili oil
- 3 eggs
- Salt
- Chives
Method
Step 1
Grate the potato and place into a bowl. Squeeze some lemon juice over the grated potato at this point, to stop them going brown, if it’s taking you a while to prep. Once grated place a handful into the centre of a tea towel, squeeze out as much of the water as you can. Repeat until all the potato is done. Finely dice your onion.
Step 2
Add the potato to a large bowl with the onion, thyme, flour, seasoning and one egg. Mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Place the oil and butter into a frying pan over a medium/low heat. Once foaming add the potato mix and pat down. Cook for 8-12 minutes until golden brown, carefully sneak a peak to check. Turn up the heat a little if you need. Once golden brown place a board or plate over the top of your pan. Carefully, making sure it doesn’t slip or slide, turn over the pan with conviction. Add a little more butter and oil to the pan and slide the rosti back in, to cook the other side. This should take 8-12 minutes but you can carefully check if you need. Remove and place onto a plate.
Step 4
Cook your bacon making it as crisp as you like, place onto the rosti.
Step 5
Add your chilli oil to the frying pan over a medium heat. Crack in the eggs. After 30 seconds or so you can tilt the pan and baste the top with chilli oil. Season. Cook until you’ve got a solid white but runny yolk.
Step 6
Plate up the eggs on the rosti and sprinkle with finely cut chives.
