Ingredients

  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes
  • 4 links Vegan Sausage
  • 2 medium Apple
  • 1/2 medium Onion
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 tbsp Tapioca Starch
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley

Instructions

  1. 1Peel the 4 medium Russet Potatoes. Grate them using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and twist firmly to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
  2. 2In a large bowl, combine the squeezed grated potatoes, 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a spoon until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. 3Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the potato mixture to the skillet and press it down evenly with a spatula to form one large pancake.
  4. 4Cook the rösti for 15-20 minutes, until the bottom is deeply golden brown and crispy. Carefully slide a spatula underneath and flip the entire rösti. Cook the second side for another 15-20 minutes, until it is also golden brown and crispy.
  5. 5While the rösti cooks, slice the 4 links of vegan sausage into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Peel and thinly slice the 2 medium apples. Finely chop the 1/2 medium onion.
  6. 6Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a separate 10-inch skillet over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the sliced vegan sausage, sliced apples, and chopped onion. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender and the sausage is heated through and lightly browned.
  7. 7Cut the cooked rösti into 4 wedges. Serve the rösti wedges immediately with the sautéed vegan sausage and apples. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley.
