Ingredients

• 4 medium Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the Russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor with a grating attachment.

Step 2

Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Removing excess water helps to achieve a crispier rosti.

Step 3

Transfer the grated and squeezed potatoes to a mixing bowl, and season them with salt and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Once the butter has melted and the pan is hot, add half of the grated potato mixture to the skillet. Press it down with a spatula to form an even disc about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 6

Cook the rosti for 7-8 minutes on one side, or until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy. Carefully flip the rosti using a large spatula (or invert it onto a plate and slide it back into the pan) to cook the other side.

Step 7

Add another 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet around the edges to ensure even cooking. Continue cooking for another 7-8 minutes, until both sides of the rosti are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the rosti from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining grated potatoes to make a second rosti, if needed.

Step 9

Cut the rosti into wedges and garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired. Serve immediately as a standalone dish or paired with a fried egg, sour cream, or smoked salmon for extra flavor.
