Classic Sweet Potato and Apple Rösti

1.Place the grated sweet potatoes, apples, and onion into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze firmly over a bowl or sink to remove as much excess moisture as possible.

2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed potato-apple mixture with the beaten egg, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are evenly coated.

3.Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

4.Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan for each rösti, flattening them slightly with a spatula to form 1/2-inch thick patties. Do not overcrowd the pan.

5.Cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, or until the rösti are deep golden brown and crispy on the edges. Add the remaining oil as needed for the second batch.

6.Remove from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley.
