Black Pudding Rosti

Normally rosti are made with shredded, raw potato and served as a side dish.  The addition of the chunks of Macsween black pudding transforms this dish into a delicious starter.

Recipe

2 eggs, beaten
55g/2oz flour
225g/½lb grated potato
125g/4oz black pudding, diced
25g/1oz chives, chopped
Pinch of salt and pepper

Method

Grate the raw potato, rinse in cold water to remove some of the starchand pat dry with kitchen paper. Mix all the ingredients together, add seasoning and divide into small heaps – this is now ready to be cooked.

Heat some oil in a frying pan.  When the oil is hot, add a dollop of the rosti mixture and flatten a little until it is golden brown.  Serve immediately with a green salad.

Jo's tip: If you would like to try your rosti with a fruity edge, replace some of the potato with a grated apple.
