Classic Rösti

This recipe for Rösti yields the most perfect crispy potato crust. Here I dress it up with creme fraiche and caviar but you could easily just serve it with a fried egg for breakfast.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease with cooking spray (or rub with oil) either 2 (5-inch) mini cast iron pans or a 1 (10-inch) cast iron (or really any other non-stick pan you have that's comparable in size),
  2. Fill a medium bowl with water. Mandoline each potato into 1/16-inch slices. Stack about 3 to 4 slices and cut into matchsticks. The matchsticks should be thin enough so that they are bendable. Transfer the matchsticks into the bowl with water so they can soak and some of the starch can be released. Repeat with the remaining potato slices.
  3. Drain the water and transfer the potatoes to a bed of paper towels and gently pat them down until they're dry. Place the potato matchsticks in a clean medium bowl and toss with the melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and toss once more.
  4. Place the pan(s) over medium-high heat. If you're using two pans, divide the potatoes amongst the pans and press them down into the pan, creating one even layer that's about 2 to 3 inches thick. Allow to cook for about 5 to 6 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to the oven (without flipping it) for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully flip it over to it's other side; transfer to the oven to bake for an additional 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and sprinkle with a bit of salt. Top with a dollop of creme fraiche and some caviar.
