Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 250 grams Cremini or button mushrooms
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater. Place the shredded potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

Step 2

Transfer the grated potatoes to a large bowl and season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Spread half of the grated potato mixture in an even layer in the skillet, pressing down gently with a spatula to form a compact disk. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Gently flip the rösti over using a large plate or another skillet (invert the rösti onto the plate, then slide it back into the skillet). Continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes until golden on the other side. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture to make a second rösti. Keep the cooked rösti warm.

Step 6

Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter and olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5 minutes, or until softened and lightly browned.

Step 7

Add the minced garlic, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper to the mushrooms. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.

Step 9

To serve, cut the rösti into wedges and top with the sautéed mushrooms. Sprinkle with additional parsley if desired and serve immediately.
