Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 150 grams Ham
- 1 small Onion
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Finely dice the ham and the onion. Set both aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, ham, diced onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Swirl to coat the pan.
Add half of the potato mixture to the skillet, pressing down with a spatula to form an even, compact layer. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the potato pancake. You can use a large plate to slide the rosti out, then invert it back into the skillet to cook the other side.
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet and cook the second side for another 5–7 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the cooked rosti to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture, adding another tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed.
Cut the rosti into wedges and serve hot. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
