To make four servings, place shredded potatoes in a colander, squeeze excess moisture out and blot with paper towels. Toss potatoes, asparagus, ham, shallot, salt, pepper and nutmeg in a medium bowl.

Heat 1 teaspoon of canola oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat until the oil is shimmering but not smoking. Add the potato mixture and spread out into an even layer. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom of the potato is browned, about 7 to 10 minutes.

Remove skillet from heat and run a spatula around rosti to make sure it’s completely loose in the skillet. Invert a large flat platter or an un-rimmed baking sheet over the skillet and grasp together with oven mitts. Carefully flip rosti onto the platter or baking sheet.

Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel and add the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet and place over medium-high heat. Slide the rosti into the skillet and sprinkle with the Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar. Continue cooking and adjust heat down to medium-low, if needed, to prevent burning. Cook until the bottom is browned and the potato is cooked through, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
