Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by peeling the Russet potatoes. Once peeled, grate them using a large-holed grater or shred in a food processor.
Step 2
Gather the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible over the sink.
Step 3
In a large bowl, transfer the dried grated potatoes and season with salt and black pepper. Toss them gently to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Allow the butter to melt and mingle with the oil, preventing it from burning.
Step 5
Add the grated potatoes into the skillet and spread them evenly, pressing down gently with a spatula to form a cake-like base.
Step 6
Cook the potato cake without stirring for about 10-15 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Carefully invert the rosti onto a large plate. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter into the skillet.
Step 8
Slide the rosti back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes until the other side is also crispy and golden brown.
Step 9
Once cooked, remove the rosti from the skillet and transfer it onto a serving platter. Cut the rosti into wedges.
Step 10
Serve warm, seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste if desired.
