potato rosti - rastons al petote

plain flour pepper and salt butter or margarine
The rastons al petote differ little from, for example, the rösti, except for their historical and social background. In the Borinage, a coal mining region, this dish was a weekly meal in the miners' families in alternation with just boiled potatoes or mashed potatoes. It was cheap and nutritious. The rastons were baked in margarine and not in real butter that could only be served on the table with the holidays.
