Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 150 grams Gruyère cheese
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Transfer the grated potatoes to a clean kitchen towel, gather up the edges, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Step 2

Place the grated potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Grate the Gruyère cheese and mix it into the potatoes evenly.

Step 3

Season the potato and cheese mixture with salt and ground black pepper. Toss to combine.

Step 4

In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted and is foamy.

Step 5

Add half of the potato mixture to the skillet and press it down firmly with a spatula to create an even layer. Cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.

Step 6

Carefully invert the rösti onto a large plate. Add another 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, then slide the rösti back into the pan to cook the other side. Cook for an additional 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.

Step 7

Once fully cooked, slide the rösti onto a serving plate. Garnish with fresh chives before slicing into wedges and serving while hot.
