Potato rösti

Rösti is made with potatoes which are grated and, depending on the frying technique, possibly mixed with some butter or fat, to be then fried in oil on both sides. The grated potatoes are first shaped into rounds or patties, which come in different sizes, usually measuring between 3-12 cm (1 to 5 inches) in diameter and 1-2 cm (0.5 inch) thick.

Often the Rösti is simply shaped inside the frying pan. They are most often shallow fried but can also be baked in the oven. Although the basic Rösti consists of nothing but potato, a number of additional ingredients are sometimes added, such as bacon, onions, cheese, apples or fresh herbs.

For an alternative, try our Beetroot rösti.
