Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray and set it aside.
Peel the potatoes and rinse them under cold water to remove any excess starch. Using a box grater or food processor, finely grate the potatoes.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Dry potatoes will ensure a crispier rosti.
Transfer the grated potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves (if using). Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes.
Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Press down gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to compact the mixture and ensure even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. If necessary, you can broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve extra crispness.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optional: Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
Cut into wedges or squares and serve warm. This dish pairs beautifully with a dollop of sour cream or a side of fresh greens.
