Smoked salmon rösti bites

It was a long day and I came home feeling exhausted.

But the funny thing is I'm never too exhausted to cook. Its how I wind down and zen out. I had a few potatoes sitting in the basket and some smoked salmon so thought I'd put it together!

While this recipe takes a while in theory, most of the time it takes is in soaking the potatoes - you literally do nothing here so you can prep the other ingredients or just relax until its time to put it together!

Prep time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 30 mins

Serves: 4 (18 pieces)

Ingredients

4 medium potatoes, peeled and grated

1 bowl of cold water

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp salt

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp thyme

2 tbsp olive oil

100g smoked salmon

Sauce

1/4 cup natural yohgurt

1/2 lemon, zested and juiced

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped finely

Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1. Peel your potatoes and grate them, then place them in a bowl of cold water. Leave for 20 minutes.

2. When 20 minutes have passed, drain the potatoes and place them in a clean teatowel, scrunching the top and squeezing as much water out of the potatoes as possible. The dryer your potatoes the crispier they'll be.

3. Place the potatoes into a dry bowl and mix together the rest of the ingredients except the smoked salmon.

4. Spoon even disks into your air fryer and set to 200 degrees celcius for 10 minutes, flipping half way.

5. While the potatoes are cooking, mix together the dipping sauce ingredients.

6. Lay the smoked salmon out and slice into even squares.

7. Once the rösti's are ready, place on a board, top with the salmon, spoon on the sauce and serve.

Notes

• Make sure you soak the potatoes. This gets rid of the starch and helps with crisping them up.

• Change the parsley for dill if you want a more traditional combination. Personally I hate dill so that's why I used parsley

• If you end up with extra sauce, keep it. Great for dips and to put in toasted sandwiches!
