Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes (waxy variety, e.g., Yukon Gold)
• 100 grams Ham (thinly sliced)
• 150 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely using a box grater or food processor.

Step 2

Place the grated potatoes in the center of a clean kitchen towel, gather the edges, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 3

Transfer the grated and drained potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add salt and black pepper, tossing gently to combine.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Spread half of the grated potatoes evenly into the skillet, pressing them gently into a flat, compact layer.

Step 6

Scatter the ham slices evenly over the potato layer, followed by a generous layer of grated cheese.

Step 7

Top with the remaining grated potatoes, pressing down lightly to seal the filling inside.

Step 8

Cook over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Carefully slide the rösti onto a large plate. Place another plate on top and flip the rösti over, uncooked side down.

Step 10

Add the remaining butter and vegetable oil to the skillet before sliding the rösti back in, uncooked side down.

Step 11

Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted inside.

Step 12

Once cooked, transfer the rösti to a cutting board and let it rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing into wedges.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy the crispy, cheesy goodness!
