Ham Rosti
"I was cleaning out a canvas bag and found this recipe tucked inside it. I have no idea of where I got it, but am posting it, as it sounds like a good way to make use of leftover ham. The US measurements are not precise, but close enough for this kind of dish. Use the converter if you want precision."

Frustrating recipe - the Rosti kept falling apart in the pan, needed something to "bind" them more I think. Flavours great, but this was more hash than Rosti! -
This recipe is a great way to use up your holiday ham! I used all the same ingredients listed, I guessed at the amounts, also and I diced the ham strips. But I kind of made little potato panckes (about 3" diameter) with the mixture, frying 3 at a time, and keeping a platter in the oven (on warm) for the cooked ones, while frying the rest. I served these with only applesauce as a side dish to them... and it was fantastic!. Family LOVED them. I still have some ham left that I froze, and I will definately be making these again! Thank you for coming up with a fabulous recipe. We truly enjoyed it. (Made for PRMR - Spring 2013)

My screen name is a diminutive in Lithuanian for bread, so you won't be suprised to learn that I love to bake bread. In recent years I have been baking a lot of sourdough breads and have several starters sitting in my refrigerator. But I like to cook a lot of other things, as well, especially from various cultures. The cat wishes I would concentrate on meat and fish... I joined a few years ago but started posting recipes and participating in forums just recently - I wish I had done so earlier. Recipezaar is a great community! Right now I am a co-host for the Breads and Baking and the Eastern Europe forums - I hope to see you there!
