Potato rosti with cheese breakfast quesadilla is crispy on the outside and soft and full of cheese on the inside. You can taste both the fried potato flavor and the cheese flavor. You'll only need less than 10 minutes to make your breakfast.
Ingredients
- 2 medium size potato
- 2 tortillas
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 3 tablespoon oil or butter
- salt
Instructions
- Wash and peel the potatoes and grate them. Rinse them, drain them and squeeze out the excess liquid. (Note 1 & 2)
- Heat the pan over medium heat, add 2 tablespoon of oil and then the grated potatoes. Sprinkle a little salt on top.
- Don't stir or turn for 3 minutes. Don't cover the pan. After 2 minutes, turn the heat down to low. (Note 3)
- After 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown, transfer to a plate.
- Cover the plate with the pan and turn it over so you can flip it to the other side.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and add the potatoes. Fry the potatoes in the pan for 2 to 3 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown, over low heat.
- Transfer to a plate. In the same pan, place 1 tortilla and top with 1/2 cup cheese.

Tips & Notes:
- Rinse the grated potatoes and let them drain - this will remove the starch. This reduces the calories and makes the potato rosti crispier
- Then squeeze out the excess liquid. Don't skip this process, as this is the main reason the potato rosti will be crispier.
- Don't cover the pan or the water won't evaporate. The potato rosti will then not become crispy.
