Directions

1. 1. Spread potatoes on a large microwave-safe plate and microwave on high heat until hot all the way through and softened but still slightly crunchy, about 5 minutes.
2. 2. Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon (15ml) oil in a 10-inch well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and mushrooms and cook, stirring and tossing occasionally, until softened and starting to brown, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and thyme and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a small bowl and wipe out skillet.
3. 3. Heat 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil in skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add half of potatoes and press into bottom of pan with a rubber spatula. Season with salt and pepper. Spread onion/mushroom mixture evenly over potatoes and top with remaining potatoes. Press down into an even disk shape using a rubber spatula. Season top with salt and pepper.
4. 4. Cook, swirling and shaking pan occasionally, until deep golden brown and crisp on the first side, about 7 minutes. Carefully slide rosti onto a large plate. Set another plate on top of it upside down, grip the edges, and invert the whole thing so the rosti is now cooked side up. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons (30ml) oil in skillet and slide rosti back in. Continue cooking, swirling and shaking pan occasionally, until deep golden brown and crisp on the second side, about 7 minutes longer. Slide rosti onto a cutting board. Serve immediately with a side of vegan aioli.
