Recession Roeschti

Leftover allotment produce needs using up so I grated up 3 or 4 small courgettes plus 3 handfuls of potatoes, grated an old roll and some elderly cheddar into it, chopped up one of the onions from the allotment, mixed this with 3 eggs and seasoned it with pepper and a little salt. Fried this up into patties, called Reibekuchen, Reiberdatschi or Roeschti on the continent. Pat with kitchen roll to soak up excess grease. Served it with half fat crème fraiche mixed with some dried dill that needed using up plus some smoked salmon for protein, sprinkled with lemon or lime juice, depending on what's in the citrus fruit basket. Can't beat it. My signature dish of this decade.
