Make Rösti Yourself – That’s How It’s Guaranteed to Succeed

Make Rösti yourself: You need this for the recipe

Our quantity specification results in four servings of rösti.

• You need a kilogram of waxy potatoes.
• Seasoned with salt and freshly ground pepper.
• You need about four tablespoons of butter to fry the rösti.

This is how potatoes become crispy rösti

The preparation of delicious Rösti is not difficult at all.

1. Peel the potatoes and then place them in a bowl of water. This will keep the potatoes from discoloring.
2. Now comes the slightly more strenuous part: grate the potatoes with a coarse grater. Attention: There is a risk of injury here, especially with the end pieces. With an electric grater, you simplify the process considerably.
3. Place the grated potatoes in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix everything well with your hands.
4. In a pan, heat the two tablespoons of butter. Now take a handful of the potato mixture, squeeze out the moisture, and spread it in the hot pan. To do this, lightly press the potato mixture into the pan. Put as much squeezed potato mixture into the pan as is necessary to fill the pan.
5. Press the Rösti down a little again with the palm of your hand and let it fry on one side for about five minutes until golden brown.
6. To flip the hash brown, place a large plate on the pan and hold it with one hand while turning the pan. The rösti is now on the plate with the fried side facing up.
7. Add another two tablespoons of butter to the pan and carefully slide the hash browns from the plate into the pan.
8. Now press the Rösti back down a little and let this side fry for about five minutes.
9. When it’s done, place it on a plate lined with kitchen paper to allow some of the fat to drip off. Then put it on a new plate and cut the rösti into individual portions like a pizza.
