ROESTI



Roesti image

This is a simple Swiss side dish. Do not forget to cook the potatoes at least a day beforehand. Do not stir the Roesti because it will be prevented from forming its crust. Add finely chopped, lean bacon, sliced onions, or thinly sliced cheese for other variations.

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ¼ pounds potatoes, scrubbed
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk

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.

1 pound yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Tips:

  • Use the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes, such as Yukon Golds or Red Bliss, are best for rösti because they hold their shape well during cooking.
  • Grate the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the potato shreds so that they can cook evenly.
  • Be patient: Rösti takes time to cook, so don't rush the process. Cook it over medium heat until it is golden brown and crispy.
  • Season to taste: Rösti can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder.
  • Serve immediately: Rösti is best served hot and crispy.
