Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and rinse them under cold water to remove any excess starch. Using a box grater or food processor, finely grate the potatoes.

Step 3

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Dry potatoes will ensure a crispier rosti.

Step 4

Transfer the grated potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the melted butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme leaves (if using). Mix well to evenly coat the potatoes.

Step 5

Spread the potato mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Press down gently with the back of a spoon or spatula to compact the mixture and ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy. If necessary, you can broil the dish for an additional 2-3 minutes to achieve extra crispness.

Step 7

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optional: Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese for added flavor.

Step 8

Cut into wedges or squares and serve warm. This dish pairs beautifully with a dollop of sour cream or a side of fresh greens.
