Notes
- Making this potato rosti without a non-stick pan is pretty impossible. You will literally end up with a right mess, so I highly recommend using a good pan that doesn's stick at all.
- There is no need to add egg or anything else to the mixture, the butter helps keep the grated potatoes together, and you get a perfectly-shaped patty without any problems.
- Do not be temped to increase the heat, as the outside of the rosti will brown too quickly, while the inside still has raw potatoes. At the end of the 12 minutes of cooking on both sides, the potatoes nice and tender and cooked perfectly well.
