Finished with a garnish of vibrant chives, this easy-to-make recipe is ready in under an hour and presents a gourmet take on traditional rösti that’s both low sodium and utterly delicious.
Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a coarse grater. Once grated, rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to absorb as much moisture as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary. Mix well, ensuring the potatoes are evenly seasoned.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter and olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan to coat the entire surface.
Add the potato mixture to the skillet and press it down into an even layer using a spatula. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes on one side, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
Using a large, flat spatula or a plate to assist, carefully flip the rösti to cook the other side. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the sides of the skillet, allowing it to melt and seep under the potatoes.
Continue cooking the rösti for an additional 10-12 minutes until the second side is also golden brown and crispy. The total cooking time should result in a tender interior and crisp exterior.
Once cooked, transfer the rösti to a serving plate. Garnish with freshly chopped chives.
Slice into quarters and serve immediately. Enjoy your Low Sodium Classic Swiss Potato Rosti!
