Recipe for celeriac rösti
Rosti, rosti or rösti – a beloved dish with many names. We love potato rösti at our house, but this time it was all about root vegetable rösti with celeriac!
They actually came about by accident. The plan was to make “meatballs” with celeriac instead of ground pork.
The idea was probably good enough, but it didn’t really turn into meatballs! Instead, it became extremely delicious rösti, which I would gladly make anytime as a replacement for potatoes or rice as a side dish.
The cayenne pepper adds a bit of heat to the dish, but if you’re not into spicy food, you can simply leave it out.
