The Potato Rösti with Creamed Spinach from Spoonsparrow is a lactose‑free version of the classic – thanks to plant‑based cream alternative!

Ingredients

  • 800 g mostly waxy potatoes
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp spelt whole‑grain flour (30 g)
  • Salt
  • nutmeg
  • 4 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 400 g spinach
  • 200 g oat cuisine or soy cream
  • 1 Handful Parsley (5 g)

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel, grate, and squeeze the potatoes well. Mix with egg, flour, salt, and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg. Form about 12 small rösti and cook in two batches in a large pan. Heat 1–2 tbsp oil for each batch and fry the rösti on both sides until golden brown, about 10 minutes total over medium heat; keep warm in a preheated oven at 80 °C (fan 60 °C; gas: level 1) if needed. Repeat with remaining rösti.

  2. 2.

    While the rösti cook, wash the spinach and remove tough stems. Blanch the spinach in boiling salted water for 2 minutes, shock in ice water, squeeze dry, and chop. Bring oat cuisine to a boil in a pot, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in the spinach and season with salt and a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.

  3. 3.

    Wash, pat dry, and chop the parsley. Arrange the potato rösti with creamed spinach on plates, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
