Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potatoes (starchy, such as Russet)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and place them in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
Using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment, grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy rosti.
In a medium bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt and black pepper. Mix well to evenly season the potatoes.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing them to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
Spread the seasoned grated potatoes evenly in the pan, pressing them down gently with a spatula to form a flat, cohesive layer.
Cook the rosti on medium heat for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Avoid moving it during this time to allow the crust to form.
Carefully slide the rosti onto a plate, then place another plate on top and flip it over to invert the rosti. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan and let it melt.
Slide the rosti back into the pan, uncooked side down, and cook for another 8-10 minutes, or until the second side is golden and crispy.
Once done, transfer the rosti to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives. Serve warm and enjoy!
