Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

2 medium-sized baking potatoes, parboiled in their skins for about 15 minutes, then left to cool
1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2-3tbsp vegetable or corn oil
1 medium shallot, peeled, thinly sliced
4 lambs' kidneys, cut into rough 1cm dice
A good pinch of cayenne pepper
A good knob of butter
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
4 Burford Brown eggs
Remove the skins from the potatoes and grate the flesh on the coarse side of a grater. Mix with the sliced onion in a bowl; season. Heat some vegetable oil in a small, non-stick frying pan. Divide the potato mix into four and place in the pan, shaping into thin patties with the help of a spatula. Cook them for 4-5 minutes on each side until crisp, then remove from the pan and keep warm.
Season the kidneys with salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. Heat a little vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the shallots for 30 seconds; add the kidneys and cook on a high heat for another 30 seconds; add the butter and 1tbsp of water to form a sauce just coating the kidneys. Fry the eggs in a little vegetable oil and butter, place the rosti on warmed serving plates with the egg on top and spoon the kidneys around.
