Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Grate them using a box grater or food processor.
After grating, place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This ensures maximum crispiness.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, white pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Preheat a heavy-bottomed frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing them to melt and blend.
Once the butter and oil are hot, spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer across the pan. Press down gently with a spatula to compact them slightly.
Cook the rosti on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and crispy. During this time, avoid moving the potatoes to allow the crust to form.
Carefully flip the rosti. To do this, you can invert it onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan browned side up. Add the remaining butter and oil to the pan before sliding the potatoes back in.
Cook the other side for another 12-15 minutes, ensuring it is equally golden and crispy.
Once both sides are cooked, remove the rosti from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Slice the rosti into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your low sodium classic Swiss rosti!
