Peel the potatoes and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch.
Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated potatoes on a clean kitchen towel, wrap them tightly, and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Transfer the grated potatoes to a mixing bowl and season with salt. Toss to distribute evenly.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted and is sizzling, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the grated potato mixture into the skillet. Flatten each scoop slightly to form a small patty.
Cook the rösti for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden-brown and crispy. Use a spatula to carefully flip them halfway through cooking.
Remove the cooked rösti and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter. Repeat the process, adding more butter to the skillet as needed, until all the potato mixture has been used.
Serve the rösti warm as a side dish, or enjoy them on their own with your favorite dipping sauces!
