    Will make this often. Used stainless steel rings to make individual rosti's, easier to turn and look good on the plate. Will try the goose fat tip, sounds good

    I did the rosti last night - and took the advice to use goose fat. Turned out very well - one tip though for turning it get a large plate - slide it onto that from pan - get another plate - cover top and turn - then back to pan for another 6 mins . My partner couldnt belive i grated the potato and carrot and did it myself - she thought I had ought it from Sainsburys! she did apologise after I showed her the peelings and the plaster from finger getting too neat the grater

    This is really tasty - however looked nothing like the picture as it broke up - will use the ring idea in future...

    Made this with the suggested poached egg for supper tonight and very impressed! It was easy to make and very tasty (the parsnips caramelise and taste a little sweet). Definitely needed well seasoning though. The rostis were a bit loose so watch out for them falling apart - the idea of the rings sounds good, although the large version seemed to be ok - I pushed it down well with a spatula and then cut it in half whilst still in the pan. Will definitely make again - a great recipe for parsnips.

    Smelt and tasted nice, but it broke up too easily - so was useless for the freezer, which is what I was making it for. Maybe a little more egg needed to bind them together - or the goose fat others have suggested.

    easy to make, but didn't think it was that special - may try again with more seasoning and herbs.... it does break up quite easily!

    I used some quite waxy potatoes, a good amount of seasoning, and I sat a poached egg on top as suggested - it held together fine and was really tasty!
