Swiss Rösti

Spread the love

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1,000 g potato(s), waxy
  • water, salty
  • 1 onion(s)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 30 g butter

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Total time approx. 40 minutes

Wash the potatoes thoroughly, then place them in enough boiling salted water to cover them. Boil for 10 minutes in the boiling water. Drain, rinse, and peel. Then grate them on a grater with teardrop-shaped holes. Peel the onion and chop very finely. Mix the potatoes with the onion and salt. Heat the oil and butter in a pan, add the potato mixture, and press it together with a spatula to form a cake. Fry until the underside is crispy brown. Then slide the rösti onto a plate, turn it over, and fry the underside as well. Serve on a preheated platter or in a pan. Rösti is served with Zürcher Geschnetzeltes (cheese-cut strips), fine ragouts, pan-fried white meat, or light roasts. Tip: You can mix more onions, herbs, diced ham, or leftover roast meat with the potatoes. This makes rösti, paired with a mixed salad, a standalone dish that can be served for lunch or dinner.
