How to Make Giant Calzone Rosti

Step 1: Prepare the Potato Mixture

Squeeze excess liquid from grated potato using clean hands.

Transfer to a bowl.

Add salt and some melted butter.

Season with pepper and toss well.

Step 2: Cook the Rosti

Heat oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Spread potato mixture evenly into the pan and gently press down.

Cook without stirring for about 20 minutes until the base becomes golden.

Increase heat briefly for extra crispiness.

Carefully flip the rosti and cook the other side until golden and cooked through.

Step 3: Prepare the Corn

Microwave corn briefly with a little water.

Char on a grill pan until lightly blackened.

Slice kernels from the cob.

Step 4: Add the Filling

Top one half of the rosti with spinach, avocado, corn, and most of the feta.

Carefully fold the other half over the filling like a calzone.

Step 5: Serve

Transfer to a serving board.

Top with coriander and remaining feta.

Serve immediately.
