Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and place them in a large pot of cold, salted water.

Step 2

Bring the water to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer the potatoes for 8-10 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked.

Step 3

Drain the potatoes and allow them to cool completely. You can refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes or overnight for easier grating.

Step 4

Using the largest holes of a box grater, grate the cooled potatoes into shreds. Transfer the grated potatoes to a large mixing bowl and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss gently to combine.

Step 5

In a large nonstick or cast-iron skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to sizzle.

Step 6

Add the grated potatoes into the skillet, pressing them down gently using a spatula to form an even, compact layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes on one side until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Step 7

Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the rösti onto the plate. Add another tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Slide the rösti back into the skillet, uncooked side down.

Step 8

Cook for another 8-10 minutes until the other side is golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once cooked, transfer the rösti to a serving plate. Brush the top with the remaining butter and sprinkle with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh chopped chives, if desired, and serve hot as a side or main dish.
