  • Cooking: 45 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (446 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Gluten-free, High protein
  • Contains: dairy, egg, pork

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

  1. 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.
  2. Peel the potatoes and slice them about 5 mm thick. Cut the roast pork into thin slices or strips, and slice the onion thinly.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Season with the salt, the pepper, the caraway and the marjoram, and toss in the chopped parsley.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
