Ham and Bramley Apple Rosti

Place the potatoes and apple in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much water as possible. Tip into a bowl and add the cheese, ham, creme fraiche, Dijon mustard, egg yolk, chives, salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly.

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over a low-medium heat, and add a good trickle of oil. Divide the rosti mixture into 6 and spoon into the frying pan (doing in a couple of batches of your pan isn'Ât big enough), pressing down with the back of the spoon to give a flat surface. Cook for about 5 minutes before carefully turning over and continuing to cook for a further 5 minutes, until both sides are golden and crisp. Serve straight away.
