Rösti:b]

Ingredients:
150g parmesan
1kg peeled potatoes
2 eggs
150g scamorza cheese (you can use some other kind as well)
100g bread crumbs
80g mushrooms
100g tomato
Salt


Preparation:
    * Grate parmesan for 15 seconds speeding up gradually from 2 to 10 and set aside
    * Wash peeled potatoes. Chop into mid sized pieces and wash them again
    * Place 350g potatoes in TM Bowl. Finely chop by hitting Turbo 2-3 times for half a second each. (Don't chop too much, we don't want them to become puree). Place chopped potatoes in a drainer
    * Place 350g of potatoes in TM Bowl and repeat the previous step
    * Place the remaining 300g of potatoes in TM Bowl and repeat the previous step
    * Wash finely chopped potatoes under tap water until the starch goes away
    * Insert butterfly in TM Bowl. Place washed-drained potatoes, eggs, parmesan, bread crumbs and salt. Mix for 40-50 seconds on Speed 2. Place the mixture in a bowl
    * Chop cheese for 10 seconds on Speed 6. Add into the potato mixture and mix.
    * At this stage divide the mixture in 2. Prepare rösti patties with the first half. Get pieces with table spoon and place them in oven tray which is covered with baking paper, flatten a bit by pressing with a fork. (I preferred to work with my hands)
    * Chop finely tomato and mushrooms by hitting Turbo several times for half a second each. Add them into the 2nd half of the potato mixture and mix. Prepare patties and place in the oven tray (You need 2 trays in total)
    * Bake them in preheated oven at 200ºC for 25-30 minutes until browned a bit

This looks different farfallina. I made some rosti the other day and wasn't impressed. I'll try your recipe though as it is quite different.

According to wikipedia it is made of grated potato either cooked or raw and it is often pan-fried
The version here is influenced also by italian kitchen I believe, scamorza, parmesan...etc
So here comes an international rosti recipe

looks lovely farfallina. I will make this tonight and use some mozzarella cheese. mum used to make rosti on the odd occasion but for some reason it was called "potato whitebait". the raw potato wasn't washed, but as it had to sit for about 10 minutes after grating a lot of moisture was just squeezed out. Instead of tomato and mushrooms, she just added onion. It will be nice to see what the difference is.

I made these at the weekend and they were devoured as soon as they were cool enough not to burn everyone's tongues..  I haven't heard of scamorza cheese so used a tasty cheddar on the off-chance that that was a similar cheese.  Will try to track scarmorza cheese down when at the market next, but it was really delicious with the cheddar.  Thanks for the recipe.

I am glad you enjoyed them Cuilidh 
Scamorza is a kind of Italian smoked cheese. It is not a must I believe
Cheddar should taste very good as well
