Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 150 grams Ham
• 150 grams Swiss cheese
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the Yukon Gold potatoes using a box grater. Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl of cold water and let them soak for 10 minutes to remove excess starch.

Step 2

While the potatoes soak, finely chop the ham, grate the Swiss cheese, and set both aside. Wash and finely chop the chives.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.

Step 4

Add salt, black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of chopped chives to the grated potatoes, mixing well.

Step 5

In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 6

Add half of the grated potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a flat, round layer.

Step 7

Top the potato layer with the chopped ham and grated Swiss cheese, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Carefully add the remaining grated potato mixture on top, pressing gently to seal the edges and cover the filling evenly.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the rosti for 8–10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy.

Step 10

Using a large plate or lid, carefully flip the rosti onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side. Add the remaining butter and olive oil to the skillet to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Cook the second side for another 8–10 minutes, or until it is golden and crispy, and the filling is melted.

Step 12

Slide the rosti onto a cutting board, garnish with the remaining chopped chives, and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve hot and enjoy!
