Categories     Side Dish

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 large potatoes, waxy and starchy
2 tbsp lard or butter
2 tbsp vegetable oil
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain them and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel the potatoes, then refrigerate them until chilled, for at least 1 hour. Lastly, grate them using the large holes on a cheese grater; reserve on the side.
  • Heat lard or butter and oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When melted, add potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and mix well, coating the potatoes with fat. Then, gently press the potatoes using a spatula, molding them to fit the skillet. Cook, occasionally shaking, until edges are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
  • When one side is done, cover the skillet with a large plate and invert the rösti over onto it, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side of the fritter. Fry until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Lastly, transfer onto a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and cut into wedges to serve.

Grated potatoes packed into a cake and fried in butter, this Swiss dish is a superb side dish to a medium-rare steak or even some fried eggs. You can peel the potatoes here, or save time and skip that step altogether. (Just make sure to use thin-skinned potatoes that have been scrubbed well.)

Provided by Mary Cadogan

Categories     Main course, Supper

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1kg medium-sized floury potato , such as Desirée or Maris Piper
1 onion , finely chopped
100g lardon (diced bacon)
8 fresh sage leaves
100g firm goat's cheese , such as chèvre blanc or Capricorn

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes in skins for 20-25 minutes, until just tender. Leave to cool, peel, then coarsely grate into a bowl.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a medium non-stick frying pan, add the onion and lardons and fry for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and lightly tinged with brown. Stir in the sage leaves and remove from the heat.
  • Stir the onion, lardons and any juices left in the pan into the grated potato. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in the frying pan, add half the potato mixture and spread over the pan. Crumble the goat's cheese into small pieces, then sprinkle evenly over the potatoes. Spread the remaining potato over the top to seal in the cheese and press down lightly with the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Cook the rösti over a moderate heat for 8 minutes until the underside is nicely browned, then put a large plate on top and invert the rösti onto it. Add another tablespoon of oil to the pan if you need to, then slide the rösti back into the pan and cook the other side for 8 minutes. Serve the rösti straight from the pan, cut into wedges, with green vegetables or a big green leaf salad.
