Cheats? Bread? Why ever cheat at baking when there are a million and
one ready-baked loaves to choose from? Well, firstly there aren’t any out there
that taste like this one and even without our
time-saving hero ingredient, this was always dead easy. But hats off and a big
bow to McCain, who have long provided us with quality frozen potato products
and have now come up with rösti – the ingenious Swiss
invention of grated potato.
They can, of course, be summoned from the freezer at a moment’s notice and
fried till crisp and golden, but in this luscious, squidgy potato bread the
work of peeling boiled and grated potatoes is
eliminated. Note: different cheeses can be used. We love feta or Lancashire
and rosemary or sage can be substituted
for the thyme.
