Rosti Pancakes

Mummy was craving for Rosti so LO has crunchy Rosti Pancake for breakfast!


Rosti Pancake

Ingredients (makes 6 small pancakes)
1/2 potato (grated)
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup vegetable puree (I used my frozen batch of roasted veg soup)
1/4 cup water
Olive oil 
Cheddar cheese (optional. I omitted it)


Method
Grate the potato and mix all the ingredients together to form batter.


Add some olive oil to a heated pan and pan fry the pancakes at medium heat till it is cooked or brown.

There is no seasoning or aromatics added in the batter as my vegetable soup was flavorful with herbs and spices so if you intend to use pure vegetable puree, you may like to add in some onions, parsley or even herbs.



Happy Baby finished 4 pancakes leaving only 2 for mummy.

Baked Veggie Balls


Baked Veggie Balls

Ingredients (makes 9)
1 potato 
4 broccoli florets
1/2 small carrot (diced)
1/4 cup frozen peas 
Handful of parsley
1/4 cup shredded cheddar


Method 
Steam the potato,  broccoli, carrots and peas. I did this as my LO has only 1 tooth so I wanted to be sure everything is soft. 

Mash the potato and mix in all the ingredients.


Form into balls, placed on a baking tray  and drizzle some olive oil over it.
Bake for 15-20 min at 180 degrees.
You can choose to coat the balls with crushed oats, breadcrumbs or flour for a crunchy texture.

LO finished 4!happy mummy

Rosti Salmon Cake

It has been some time since I made fish cakes so I decided to look around for some variation and the Rosti Salmon Cake from Annabel Karmel seems fun And I love rosti! Crispy on the outside and mushy on the inside.



Rosti Salmon Cake (makes 8)

Ingredients 
1 salmon fillet 
1 egg yolk
Some Carrot (shredded)
2 potatoes 
1 tsp basil
1/3 cheddar cheese
1  small onion (chopped finely)
Black pepper (optional)

Method

Cook 1 potato for 20 min and set aside to cool. Shred it once cooled.

Cut the salmon into bite size and mix in the carrot, potato, egg yolk,  basil and onions. Season it with black pepper.

Peel and grate the uncooked potato and  squeeze out the moisture. Form patties with the salmon mixture and press each fish cake into the raw grated potato to coat on both sides.
Pan fry the salmon cakes until golden brown.

Serve hot.
