Potato Rösti (Or Beet or Carrot or Winter Squash) image

This is a delicious and simple potato cake that can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. This recipe was found in Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything. Edit: I've added a step to resolve the problem of the potatoes turning brown after being grated.

Categories     Potato

Time 26m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 lbs carrots or 2 lbs winter squash
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or 2 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes well and peel them if you prefer, though it's not necessary.
  • Grate the potatoes using a food processor or by hand; place grated potatoes in cold water to prevent them from turning brown.
  • When you're ready to cook the potatoes, drain well in a colander or strainer, place in clean tea towel and squeeze out the water.
  • Heat a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat (I like how cast iron browns food).
  • Toss potatoes in a large bowl with a generous amount of salt and pepper.
  • Heat large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat (I like how cast iron browns food), add 2 tbsp of oil or butter to skillet and heat (until the butter begins to turn brown, if using).
  • Put potato mixture into skillet, shape into a circle and press down with a spatula.
  • Turn heat up to medium high and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until the bottom of the potato cake is crisp (about 6 to 8 minutes).
  • Slide potato cake onto a plate, top with another plate, invert plates.
  • Add a bit more oil or butter to the skillet and slide the cake back inches.
  • Cook until the second side is browned. You may have to adjust the heat. (about 5 to 10 minutes).
  • Cut into wedges and serve.

I'm not a big fan of potatoes, but I actually really enjoyed these rösti. They were crispy and flavorful, and the addition of the cheese and herbs made them even better. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and they were a delicious and sa

These rösti were a bit too time-consuming for my taste. I had to wait for the potatoes to cook twice, and then I had to fry them. It was worth it in the end, because they were delicious, but I don't think I'll be making them again anytime soon.

These rösti were a bit of a disappointment. The flavor was good, but the texture was too mushy for my taste. I think I might have grated the potatoes too finely. I'll try them again with a coarser grate next time.

I made these rösti for breakfast this morning and they were a hit! My husband and kids loved them. The recipe was really easy to follow and the rösti turned out perfectly. I served them with eggs and bacon and they were the perfect start to our day.

These were good, but not great. I found them to be a little bland. I think they could have used more seasoning. The texture was nice and crispy, but I wish there was more flavor.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rösti turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, but they just didn't seem to cook all the way through. Maybe I didn't use enough oil? I'll have to try them again and see if I can get them right.

These rösti were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I might have used too much butter. Other than that, they were pretty good. The flavor was nice and they were crispy on the outside. I'll try them again with less butter next time.

5/5 stars! These were absolutely delicious. The combination of the crunchy exterior and the tender-fluffy interior was just perfect. Adding the grated parmesan cheese to the potato mixture was a brilliant idea that took these rösti to the next level.
