Ingredients

• 500 g  (1 lb 2 oz) potato, grated or spiralled
• 2 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp cracked pepper
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1 lemon, zest finely grated
• 1 small red chilli, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley leaves
• 2 tsp finely grated parmesan cheese
• 60 ml (2 fl oz/¼ cup) olive oil
• 5 tbsp Greek yoghurt
• 5 eggs, fried
• ½ cup dukkah 

Sitting time: 1 hour

Instructions

Mix the potato and sea salt in a large bowl and let sit for at least 1 hour to draw out the excess moisture.

Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F)

Place the potato into a strainer and squeeze to remove liquid. Transfer to a clean bowl and add pepper, fennel seeds, lemon zest, chilli, garlic, turmeric, parsley and parmesan. Mix well. 

Heat a 20 cm (8 inch) heavy-based ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add the potato mixture one handful at a time, stirring to evaporate any excess liquid between each addition. 

When all the potato has been added, pat into a flat rosti shape. Place in the oven for 15 minutes until the base is coloured, then carefully flip and bake for another 5–10 minutes. Turn out onto a chopping board. Cut into wedges and top with yoghurt, fried eggs and dukkah.
