Ingredients
- 220 g Potatoes, waxy
- 90 g Roast pork, left over (shoulder, cooked)
- 60 g Onion
- 12 g Lard (or clarified butter)
- 0.4 g Caraway seeds
- 0.2 g Marjoram, dried
- 1 g Salt
- 0.1 g Black pepper
- 3 g Parsley, fresh
- 55 g Egg
- 4 g Butter, for the egg
Method
- Boil the potatoes in their skins for 20-25 minutes until just tender, drain them and leave them to cool completely, best the day before: cold potatoes hold their shape and crisp.
- Peel the potatoes and slice them about 5 mm thick. Cut the roast pork into thin slices or strips, and slice the onion thinly.
- Heat the lard in a large, heavy frying pan and fry the potatoes over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, turning them now and then, until golden and crisp on both sides.
- Add the onion and fry for 5 minutes more, until soft and golden, then add the pork and fry for 3-4 minutes, until hot through and browned at the edges.
- Season with the salt, the pepper, the caraway and the marjoram, and toss in the chopped parsley.
- Meanwhile fry the egg in the butter in a small pan for 3-4 minutes, until the white is set and the yolk still runny.
- Serve the gröstl in the pan or on a warm plate with the fried egg on top. It is the Tyrolean way with Sunday’s leftover roast, and in Tyrol it comes with a cabbage salad dressed with caraway and vinegar.
