Instead, I will opt for sausages, bubble and squeak, as much black pudding as I can eat and some grilled tomatoes. I am one of those fussy people when it comes to the English breakfast and don’t eat everything that you see on our air fryer English breakfast. When we visited the UK, we stayed at the Premier Inn and enjoyed their all you can eat breakfast. But we did have a few hotel stays along the way too. We did the majority of it in a tent staying on beautiful camp sites. In fact, we visited 8 European countries in 8 weeks. In the summer of 2018, we did a lot of travelling.
Melt the butter and add the oil, then brush the rösti on both sides with the mixture. To cook the rösti, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 7, 425☏ (220☌), placing the baking tray on the top shelf of the oven. If you want to make them ahead, place them on a plate and cover with clingfilm – they will happily sit in the fridge for up to 6 hours. Press them firmly together to form little cakes and dust lightly with the flour. To assemble the rösti, shape the mixture into rounds 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide and ½ inch (1 cm) thick. Season with salt and freshly milled black pepper, then add the grated cheese and greens or cabbage and, using 2 forks, lightly toss together. When the potatoes have cooled, peel them, then, using the coarse side of a grater, grate them into a bowl. Drop the spring greens or cabbage into boiling water for 2 minutes only, then drain and dry well. This is easy if you form them into a roll and then slice them.
Drain the potatoes, then, while they are cooling, remove any stalks from the spring greens or cabbage and finely shred the leaves into ¼ inch (5 mm) slices. Pour boiling water over to just cover them, then simmer gently with a lid on for 8 minutes. First scrub the potatoes, then place them in a medium saucepan with a little salt.
