Red Cabbage Potato Rösti – The Perfect Twist On Swiss Potato Pancakes

*Red Cabbage Potato Pancake With Ham & Béchamel Sauce* Have you heard of a rösti? The popular Swiss dish is similar to hash browns, but is more like a large potato pancake. In winter, a rösti is always welcome — especially if you have a bunch of potatoes to use up! Here, instead of just sticking to potatoes, our chef Oli shows us how to make it truly special with a few extra additions, like red cabbage, a creamy homemade béchamel sauce, and ham to top the whole thing off. ⏱️ Cook time: 1hr 20 mins 📌*FULL RECIPE:* https://www.scrumdiddlyumptious.com/red-cabbage-potato-rosti-crispy/298163 *Ingredients:* _For the béchamel sauce (optional):_ - 2½ cups milk - 2 bay leaves - 3½ Tbsp butter - ½ cup flour - freshly grated nutmeg, to taste - salt and pepper _For the red cabbage potato rösti:_ - 11 oz red cabbage - 2 red onions - 1½ lbs potatoes - 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar - salt and pepper to taste - 11 oz Swiss cheese - 6 oz Manchego cheese - olive oil for frying - store-bought Alfredo sauce or béchamel sauce - 5 slices ham for the topping *1.
