'''Beetroot rösti''' or beet rösti as it's probably known in the USA. Our friends recently cooked us this unusual variation on the [[Potato rosti]]. This is one of the best accompaniments I have cooked in ages, absolutely delicious with an almost toffee texture and sweetness and quite spectacular looking.

There are [[How to cook beetroot |many ways to cook beetroot shown here]].

===Serving suggestions===
Cut into slices and serve hot or at room temperature.

A dollop of [[crème fraîche]] is especially good if they are hot.
===Chef's notes===
I have tried this recipe with raw [[beetroots]] and with pre cooked [[beetroots]] (not in vinegar though!). Everyones opinion was that the pre cooked version was sweeter and far superior. Pre-cooked [[beetroots]] tend to hold more moisture, so give them a good squeeze to remove any excess liquid before adding the flour.
