Grate peeled potatoes and onions and mix. Press the grated
potatoes dry in a sieve.
Mix with flour, pepper from the mill and salt. The result must be
a reasonably solid potato dough.

potato rosti - rastons al petote
plain flour
pepper and salt
butter or margarine
The rastons al petote differ little from, for example, the
rösti, except for their historical and social background.
In the Borinage, a coal mining region, this dish was a
weekly meal in the miners' families in alternation with just
boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. It was cheap and
nutritious.
The rastons were baked in margarine and not in real
butter that could only be served on the table with the
holidays.
