Herby Potato Roesti

3 large potatoes, peeled

3-4 large sage leaves

a sprig of thyme

1/4 cup olive oil

sea salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Grate the potatoes coarsely and dry well with paper towels. Place the grated mixture in a bowl.  

Finely chop the sage and thyme leaves, discarding the wooden stalks.

Add the the herbs to the potato mixture and mix well.  

Using clean hands, shape a heaped tablespoon of the mixture into a ball.  

Heat half the oil in a large skillet and add 3 of the potato balls to the oil. Gently flatten each ball with a spatula and saute until golden brown.  Turn over and saute an additional 5-10 minutes.  

Keep the roesti warm in an oven, then place on a serving plate and serve with salt and pepper.  

"Prayer is not asking for what you think you want, 

but asking to be changed in ways you can't imagine."

"What you leave behind in not what is engraved in stone monuments, 

but what is woven into the lives of others."
