| 1 | Olive oil |
| 1/3 | Sour cream |

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Ingredients: Start by coarsely grating the potatoes and finely chopping the onion. Crush the caraway seeds using a mortar and pestle.
-
Cook the Onion: In a large pan, heat some butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent.
-
Mix with Potatoes: Add the grated potatoes and crushed caraway seeds to the pan. Stir well until the potatoes become sticky and start to stick together. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
-
Prepare the BBQ Plate: Meanwhile, heat some extra butter along with olive oil on a BBQ plate. This will ensure that the rosti gets crispy and golden brown.
-
Form the Rosti: With wet hands (to prevent sticking), take heaped teaspoons of the potato mixture and shape them into rounds, flattening them slightly. Place them onto the prepared BBQ plate.
-
Cook the Rosti: Cook the rosti on both sides until they are crispy and lightly browned. This should take about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on the heat of your BBQ.
-
Assemble the Dish: Once the rosti are cooked, transfer them to a serving platter. Dollop each rosti with a spoonful of sour cream, then top with pieces of smoked eel fillets. Sprinkle chopped fresh chives over the eel, and finish with a generous squeeze of lime juice.
