butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option with a cheesy flavor.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon is lower in fat while still providing a savory taste.

onion

1

Grate the potatoes with skins on using a box grater until you have the desired amount.

2

Squeeze out moisture from the grated potatoes in two stages, using a second bowl to drain the water and then transferring to another bowl to remove as much moisture as possible.

3

Slice the onion into long thin strips after removing the skins.

4

Mix the grated potatoes with the sliced onions, aiming for a ratio of 60-70% potato to 30-40% onion.

5

Take a flat-bottomed saucepan and place two poaching rings inside.

6

Pack the potato and onion mixture into the poaching rings, compressing it down firmly.

7

Season the tops of the packed mixture with salt and pepper, and cook for a couple of minutes in the pan.

8

After 1-2 minutes, gently turn over the potato rusties and season the other side.

9

Add a couple of knobs of butter to the pan and roll them around the rusties.

10

After 2-3 minutes, turn the rusties again to ensure they are crispy on the bottom.

11

Remove the poaching rings and transfer the rusties to a preheated oven at 180°C for 7-10 minutes.

12

Remove the rusties from the oven and plate them.
