Tips for a Cheap Supper

Tips for a Cheap Supper

Ideas from Chef Peter Smith:

UWhen you’re trying to save money, keep the menu basic.

UTo create its first nicely browned crust, let the rosti (potato cake) cook undisturbed, then drizzle oil around its edges in the pan and nudge them loose with a flexible spatula. Don’t let the rosti get dry, or it will burn.

UYou can reheat the rosti in the pan while the oven is preheating for the apple dessert.

UFor seasoning, the chef prefers using white pepper, which he says has a little more heat than black pepper. And it avoids the “black specks” problem in food presentation.
