Best 4 Roesti Recipes

SWISS POTATO ROESTI - COOK'S ILLUSTRATED

Steps:

• Run potatoes through the large shredding disk of a food processor. (If using a box grater, shred potatoes lengthwise so you are left with long shreds.).
• Place potatoes in a large bowl and fill with cold water. Using hands, swirl to remove excess potato starch, then drain in strainer.
• Transfer half of potatoes from strainer to the center of a clean kitchen towl. Gather ends together and twist as tightly as possible to expel maximum moisture.
• Wipe bowl dry. Transfer potatoes to bowl and repeat process with remaining potatoes.
• Sprinkle salt, cornstarch, and pepper to taste over potatoes. Using hands or fork, toss ingredients together until well blended.
• Melt half of the butter (2 tablespoons) in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add potato mixture and spread into even layer. Cover and cook 6 minutes. Remove cover and, using spatula, gently press potatoes down to form round cake. Cook, occasionally pressing on potatoes to shape into uniform round cake, until bottom is deep golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes longer.
• Shake skillet to loosen roesti and slide onto large plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet and swirl to coat pan. Invert roesti onto second plage and slide it, browned side up, back into skillet. Cook, occasionally pressing down on cake, until bottom is well browned, 7-9 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow cake to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer roesti to cutting board, cut into 4 pieces, and serve immediately.

• Slice the onions into thin wedges.
• Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan and add the onions and sweat them until they look glassy and transparent.
• Add the grated potatoes and the salt and stir through.
• Fry while stirring them around in the pan for about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Press together to form a flat cake and fry over medium heat until there is a golden crust on the bottom.
• Place a serving platter on the pan and turn the pan upside down, so the Roesti falls on the platter with the crust on top.

ROESTI

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot. Cover the potatoes with water. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook the potatoes until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 15 minutes; drain and refrigerate potatoes overnight.
• Peel and grate the potatoes into a large bowl.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; add the grated potatoes; season with salt. Press the potatoes into a round loaf using a spatula. Sprinkle the milk over them. Cover the skillet with a lid. When you hear the potatoes begin to sizzle in about 5 to 10 minutes, reduce the heat to low. Cook until a brown crust has formed on the bottom, about 30 minutes. Cover the skillet with a large plate and flip the roesti onto the plate to serve.
