Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 800 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy rosti.
Transfer the grated and drained potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and black pepper, tossing well to combine.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil covers the entire surface of the pan.
Spread the grated potatoes evenly in the skillet, pressing them lightly with a spatula to form a compact, flat cake.
Cook the rosti for about 12-15 minutes on one side, until it forms a golden-brown crust.
Carefully flip the rosti: place a large plate over the skillet, invert the skillet to release the rosti onto the plate, and then slide it back into the skillet, adding another tablespoon of olive oil.
Continue cooking for another 12-15 minutes on the other side until it becomes golden-brown and crispy.
Once cooked, slide the potato rosti onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired, and serve immediately.
