Ingredients
Instructions
- Pierce the potatoes with a fork and bake at 400°F for 40 minutes, or until softened but not fully cooked.
- Peel and finely chop the onions and cook until soft without browning, about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Allow the baked potatoes to cool, then peel and grate them coarsely.
- Add the cooked onions, coriander, salt, and pepper to the grated potatoes and mix well.
- Spoon the mixture into 16 rough mounds on a greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 400°F for 40 minutes, or until the rosti are crisp and golden.
Tips & Substitutions
For the best texture, use starchy baking potatoes like Russets. If you don't have fresh coriander, ground coriander can be used as a substitute, but adjust the quantity to taste. To add more flavor, consider incorporating garlic or cheese into the mixture. Ensure your baking sheet is well-greased to prevent sticking, and turning the rosti halfway through baking helps achieve even crispness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these crispy coriander rosti as a delightful appetizer or side dish. They pair beautifully with a refreshing Tomato And Feta Cheese Salad or a dollop of Laban(Yogurt) for a tangy contrast. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside grilled vegetables or as part of a vegetarian platter featuring Mediterranean recipes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover coriander rosti in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 375°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through and crispy. Alternatively, you can reheat them in a skillet with a little oil over medium heat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the rosti ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the mixture in advance and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours. Just shape the mounds and store them covered until you're ready to bake. This makes it convenient for meal prep, especially for gatherings or weeknight dinners.
What can I use instead of butter?
If you're looking for a dairy-free option, you can substitute butter with olive oil or coconut oil. Both will provide a nice flavor and help achieve a crispy texture. Just use the same amount as the butter called for in the recipe.
Can I freeze coriander rosti?
Yes, you can freeze the uncooked rosti mounds. Place them on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag. When ready to cook, bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time for best results.
