Gemüserosti

Makes 6 patties
Rosti is a traditional potato dish, similar to hash browns, but served in more generous portions and mixed, if you like, with onions, peppers, mushrooms and more. To cut the fat in the Swiss original, tofu and fake bacon bits easily replace the usual egg and bacon.

2 medium potatoes
1 large carrot, shredded and steamed
1/4 onion, minced
2 ounces firm tofu, crumbled
2 tablespoons fake bacon bits, such as Baco® bits
Salt, to taste

Place potatoes in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring water to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for approximately 45 minutes or until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork. Drain water and allow potatoes to cool. Once cooled, peel and grate potatoes.

In a medium bowl, mix together grated potatoes, carrot, onion, tofu, and fake bacon bits. Shape into large patties, about 1/2-inch thick. Add salt to taste.

Heat a large non-stick skillet. Spray liberally with cooking spray. Add the patties and cook about three minutes on each side or until golden brown. Serve warm.
