The Method

1
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2
Place the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This is crucial for crispy rosti.
3
In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, chopped onion, bobotie spice mix, egg, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
4
Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
5
Spoon the potato mixture into the skillet, pressing it down to form a large, even rosti (or divide into 4 smaller rostis).
6
Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
7
Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the rosti is cooked through and golden brown.
8
Remove the rosti from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing into portions (if made as a single rosti).
9
Top each portion with slices of smoked salmon and avocado.
10
Garnish with fresh coriander and serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavour, add a clove of minced garlic to the potato mixture.

Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly squeezed dry for the crispiest rosti.

If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the rosti to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper after frying the bottom.

Adjust the amount of bobotie spice mix to your liking.
