Made breki this morning, i decided not to go without, so grated carrot and sweed, salt peper and a few herbs, and i had my own hash browns. These were extreamly nice, but they did not want to stay together. So any advice on a binding food?? i have thought about egg white, but your thoughts??
I would like to make quite a few to freeze so i can just get one or two as and when.
 
I'd try beaten egg to bind, then bake them in the oven before freezing. Do bear in mind that I have a tendency to make it up as I go along!

Same as me, a bit of Jamie Oliver and i am in the kitchen chucking everything in a mixing bowl (90%) turns out to be not fit for the dog lol
 
Well i made some for dinner and used egg to bind them, they tasted very good:D
 
Eggs-ellent! (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

I might try this, but would have to find an alternative to swede. It's among the few things I truly dislike. Any ideas peeps? Maybe... um... cauliflower?
 
What about sweet potato? I do those often and really like them. They don't play havoc with my numbers either.

Did you squeeze all the water out of the swedes/carrots? When you make potato rosti you have to squeeze the water out in a tea towel or it doesn't fry properly, could be the problem.
 
Even with the egg it's hard to imagine how they'd stay in shape, sunday roast isn't a sunday roast without carrot & sweed mash.
 
Just squeezed the moister out by hand. Once i mixed it all together i used a spoon to push and squeeze the mixture into a biscuit cutter (this gave it shape and helped compact it together.) Stayed in one piece and all good:D
