Rösti
Crisp golden potato cake, shatteringly crusted outside and tender within.
Ingredients
- 1 kg Potatoes
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Oil
- 2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
Method
- Parboil — Boil the potatoes in their skins for 10 minutes, then cool them completely — ideally overnight.
- Grate — Peel and grate the cold potatoes coarsely, then season.
- Build the cake — Melt butter and oil in a heavy pan and spread the potato in an even layer without pressing hard.
- Fry slowly — Cook 15 minutes over medium heat until the base is deep golden and crisp.
- Flip — Slide onto a plate, invert, and cook the second side 12 minutes.
- Rösti is ready — Slide out and cut into wedges.
