Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized Potatoes (waxy variety like Yukon Gold)
- 150 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely using a box grater. Once grated, place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat it evenly.
Divide the potato mixture into four equal portions. For each portion, place the mixture into the hot pan and flatten it gently with a spatula to form a round rosti roughly 1 cm thick.
Cook the rostis for 4-5 minutes on the first side or until golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip them using a spatula, and add the remaining tablespoon of butter around the edges of the pan for extra flavor.
Cook the rostis for another 4-5 minutes on the second side until they are crispy and the cheese has melted inside.
Remove the rostis from the pan and drain them briefly on a paper towel to remove any excess grease.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with a salad, sour cream, or applesauce for a complete meal.
