Steps:
- Helpful equipment: Potato ricer (easy way to remove excess moisture) or cheesecloth or tea towel Box grater or food processor with a shredding blade Wash potaotes (I don't peel them, unless you are using Russets) and grate Squeeze out as much moisture as you can (to avoid gummy potatoes). Add grated onion (if using) Add olive oil, pepper and go easy on adding salt (you can always add more). Toss to combine. Heat a skillet, with about 2-3 tsp olive oil on medium heat until it is rippling and just starting to smoke. Add the pat of unsalted butter (for flavor). Evenly distribute the potatoes and allow to cook until golden brown. Press down with a large spatula (I use a bacon press to weight it down). Flip over and continue to cook until golden brown. Total cooking time is approximately 20 minutes. If desired, crack 4 eggs on top and cover. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes longer and serve. Otherwise, you can cook eggs separately and serve.
Tips:
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the rösti. This will help to ensure that the potatoes cook evenly and develop a crispy crust.
- Grate the potatoes using the large holes of a box grater. This will create thin, even shreds that will cook quickly and evenly.
- Squeeze as much liquid as possible out of the grated potatoes before cooking. This will help to prevent the rösti from becoming soggy.
- Season the potatoes generously with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- Cook the rösti over medium heat. This will help to prevent the potatoes from burning.
- Flip the rösti once during cooking. This will help to ensure that both sides are cooked evenly.
- Serve the rösti immediately with your favorite toppings, such as eggs, cheese, or sour cream.
Conclusion:
Rösti is a simple but delicious Swiss dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is made with grated potatoes that are cooked until crispy and golden brown. Rösti can be served with a variety of toppings, such as eggs, cheese, or sour cream. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to cook potatoes, then you should definitely try rösti.
