Easy Potato Rosti

Super easy Potato Rosti made with only 3 ingredients: potatoes, butter and salt to create a fantastic side dish. The rosti is golden and crispy on the outside, but beautifully soft on the inside, and it holds perfectly well without adding eggs to the mixture. Whether you enjoy it for breakfast or brunch or as a side for your roast dinner, this is the ultimate potato dish you must try!

  • 4 tablespoon melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon coarse salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Peel and wash the potatoes.
  2. Use a grater to carefully grate the potatoes on the coarse side.
  3. With your hands squeeze as much liquid as you can from the grated potatoes.
  4. Add them to a mixing bowl, season with salt, and drizzle over 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  5. Mix everything well.
  6. Heat up a frying pan on a medium heat.
  7. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then add the potato mixture and use a spatula to press down well.
  8. Cook for 6 minutes, then place a large plate on top of the frying pan, and carefully tip it over.
  9. Slide the rosti back into the frying pan and fry on that side for a further 6 minutes.
  10. Serve hot.

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.
