Used two serving sizes for this Rösti
|
|
|
|
This swiss classic works great together with fried eggs and steamed peas or spinach.
|
|
Can be useful to get rid of leftover potatoes from the day before.

## Ingredients
|
|
|
|
- ~800g (~1.5lb) potatoes (firm/waxy)
|
|
- 2 carrots
|
|
- 500g (~1lb) peas or spinach
|
|
- 4 eggs
|
|
- 2 onions (medium size)
|
|
- butter
|
|
|
|
## Directions
|
|
|
|
1. If you don't have cooked potatoes from the day before: Cook them and let them cool. It is important to use cold potatoes. You can also use raw potatoes. The cooking time will increase though.
|
|
2. Shred your potatoes with a grater. The shreds should be quite large so don't use your typical cheese shredder.
|
|
3. Dice the first onion and mix together with potatoes. You can also add diced bacon if you want to. Add your seasonings here.
|
|
4. Heat up some butter in a large pan. Add your mix to the pan on high heat. Let the mixture get warm for a few minutes under constant stirring.
|
|
5. Reduce heat to medium-high. Form the Rösti into a round puck. It should fill out the whole pan. I recommend a thickness of around 1 - 1.5cm (~1/2") for a softer Rösti.
|
|
6. Add some more butter flakes around the inside of the pan to get it under the Rösti.
|
|
7. It can take quite a while for a nice crust to form. Check after roughly 5-10 minutes for browning.
|
|
8. While the Rösti is cooking dice the other onion and the carrots. Steam everything in a pan with a bit of water. Use a lid to get the temperature up.
|
|
9. Alternatively you can use fresh or creamed spinach.
|
|
10. When you're satisfied with the browning, flip the Rösti and set the heat to medium-low. A plate can be useful here to put on top of the Rösti in the pan.
|
|
11. When the Rösti crispness is to your liking, remove from pan and fry two eggs. A runny yolk adds quite a bit to the potatoes.
|
|
12. Top Rösti with eggs and serve with the peas or spinach.
