Potato Rosti Recipe

Potato Rosti Recipe

Ingredients:

4 large potatoes

1 small onion, finely grated (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

2-4 tablespoons butter or oil, for frying

Instructions:

Prepare the Potatoes:

Peel the potatoes. Grate them using the coarse side of a grater. If you have time, you can soak the grated potatoes in cold water for a few minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel.

Season:

Mix the grated potatoes with the grated onion if using. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Heat the Pan:

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add enough butter or oil to generously coat the bottom of the pan.

Form the Rosti:

Place a mound of the grated potato mixture in the pan. Flatten it with a spatula to form a pancake about 1/2 inch thick. You can make one large rosti or several smaller ones.

Cook:

Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Carefully flip the rosti over and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes or until it is golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through.

Serve:

Serve the rosti immediately while hot and crispy. They can be topped with sour cream, fresh herbs, or your choice of accompaniments.

Potato rosti is beautifully simple yet delicious, with a crispy exterior and a soft, tender interior.

It’s a dish that’s perfect for breakfast or as a side with dinner.
