A rösti is wonderfully comforting – adding another veg to the potatoes makes it more nutritious, and it looks great, too. Think of your rösti as a base for embellishment. I’ve added poached eggs and spinach here, but get creative and serve with whatever you’ve got – halloumi, grilled mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, baked beans, grilled chicken, you name it. - Jamie Oliver. This recipe was featured on Jamie Oliver's Keep Cooking and Carry on Show.

Ingredients

600 g potatoes
3 large carrots
100 g frozen peas
100 g baby spinach
4 large free-range eggs
50 g feta cheese
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ a lemon
extra virgin olive oil
olive oil

Method

1

Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4.

2

Peel the potatoes and carrots, then coarsely grate them in a food processor or by hand on a box grater. Add a good pinch of sea salt, toss and scrunch it all together, then leave for 5 minutes.

3

Meanwhile, mix the mustard, a good squeeze of lemon juice, and a couple of lugs of extra virgin olive oil with a little pinch of salt and black pepper in a medium bowl and put aside.

4

Drizzle a really good lug of olive oil into a large bowl and add a good pinch of pepper. Handful by handful, squeeze the potato and carrot mixture to get rid of the excess salty liquid, then sprinkle into the bowl.

5

Toss in the oil and pepper until well mixed, then evenly scatter it over a large oiled baking tray (roughly 30cm x 40cm). Roast for around 35 minutes, or until golden on top and super-crispy around the edges.

6

Meanwhile, blanch the peas for a minute in a large pan of boiling salted water, then scoop out, add to the bowl of dressing and pile the spinach on top.

7

Just before your rösti is ready, with the water gently simmering, crack in the eggs, poach to your liking, then carefully remove with a slotted spoon.

8

Serve the rösti with the eggs on top. Quickly toss the salad together to dress it and scatter in piles on the rösti, then crumble over the feta and serve. I like to whack it in the middle of the table and let everyone dig in.
