Place freshly grated potatoes into water and give an aggressive stir to wash off the starch. 2. Place into a bar cloth and squeeze all the liquid out (like really squeezing, moisture is the enemy!). Now place onto a paper towel and continue to dry them out. 3. Toss into a bowl, add butter and season. Place the pan on medium heat and add half the potato mixture. Tuck in the edges and turn the heat down to medium-low, top with ham and cheese. 4. Add the remaining potato and when the edges start to crisp, give the beauty a flip and continue your cooking for another 6-7 minutes until golden on the outside and creamy on the inside. 5. Remove and cut into 4 garnish with Creme fraiche and chives. 🎥: Alto Modo . . . #katherinewants #potato #potatoes #potatorecipe #potatorosti #breakfast #breakfastrecipes #breakfastclub #brunch #brunchtok #brunchideas #brunchtime

@lucysallysommer What recipe from your heritage shall I do next? BULLINADA 🇪🇸 Ingredients | Serves 4 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 1 brown onion, diced 6 cloves garlic, minced or grated ¼ tsp saffron threads grind with salt and then add 1/2 tsp fennel seeds, crushed Pinch salt 1/4 cup boiled water 600ml good quality fish stock ¾ cup dry white wine 500g new potatoes, peeled and sliced into rounds 1 large peel of orange zest, sliced into thin strips Salt and black pepper 500g skinless fish fillets, such as haddock or cod Mayo 1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise Juice of ½ lemon, plus more to taste ½ tsp paprika pepper, plus more for serving ½ tsp chilli flakes 2 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves, plus more for serving Method 1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium. Add onions, stirring occasionally, and cook until they begin to soften, about 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant and lightly golden, 1 minute. 2. Add the saffron and fennel seeds to a pestle and mortar along with a good pinch of salt, grind until you get a powder-like consistency. Add some hot water, give it a swirl then pour into the pot along with fish stock and wine. 3. Stir in the potato, orange peel, season generously with salt and black pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 25 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Remove the orange strips. 4. Pat the fish fillets dry with some kitchen towel, season fish with salt and pepper. Add the fish fillets to the pan, submerging in the stock and turn down the heat to its lowest setting. Let the fish cook through (about 2 minutes depending on size) and once cooked break into large chunks. Turn off the heat. 5. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, paprika, chilli flakes and parsley. Slowly stir in a ladle of the warm stock into mayonnaise mixture to temper it. Finally, add the mayonnaise mixture to the soup and let everything heat through gently, without simmering. Check seasoning and serve warm 🕊 Recipe adapted from Claudia Roden #heritage #rusticrecipes #fishrecipe #fishdinnerrecipes #familyrecipe ♬ Married Life (From “Up”) – Sergy el Som

Are you aiming to increase web traffic or grow your social media presence? Figure out why you’re leveraging paid media in the first place and build your strategy from there. Having clearly defined goals in mind will help you focus on your brand’s key priorities.
Designing strategies that cater to all three stages of the buyer journey ensures that you’re maximizing your brand’s reach. Every user at every stage is valuable—and you have to make sure you’re creating paid media content that speaks to each audience type.
Effective paid media is tied to targeting the right keywords. If you’re leveraging paid search ads to appear on SERPs (search engine results pages), then in-depth research is necessary. Bid on the keywords that are most relevant to your business to trigger only the most effective ad appearances.
Gather your team—because it’s time to start coming up with ad copy that wins attention. The key is to resonate with your audience and inspire engagement. Be real. Be relatable. And most importantly, don’t underestimate the power of creativity.
Do the landing pages on your website effectively push visitors further down the sales funnel? If not, you’re letting potential customers slip through your fingers. Optimize each of your landing pages so that they nudge users towards converting.
The options are plenty when it comes to paid advertising, including Google, Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Pinterest among others. Analyze who your target demographic is, research where it’s best to connect with them, and then target the platforms where you wish to build awareness.
If you’re ready to build your paid media ad campaign, you’ll find that it will be further broken down into “ad groups” to ensure more effective pay-per-click advertising. These ad groups house one or more ads that have similar targets or categories. Let’s say your brand’s website features categories such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. Creating ad groups according to keywords that fall under these categories will help the PPC system decide when to show ads for these products.
Retargeting ads are bound to succeed because it’s a second shot at a conversion. Visitors have shown interest in the product/service once before, and sometimes all it takes is a little reminder to push them to the checkout page. So don’t forget to retarget and aim better this time.
In the world of paid media, what works and what doesn’t? You’ll have to run A/B tests to find out! Whether you’re testing which keywords bring more traffic or which social platforms earn more ad engagement, you won’t find out what really works for your brand until you test it.
Revisit your initial goals. Did your efforts bring about the results you expected? Tracking results is an essential step in your brand’s paid advertising campaigns. The data you collect from currently running ads will help lay the foundation for your future campaigns.
After tracking your results, you’ll be able to see where adjustments are necessary. There’s always room for improvement, so keep striving to consistently resonate and build trust with your audience—it’s how to create paid ads that pay off.
