Pommes Rösti
Rösti originally comes from Switzerland, however, it is rösti. Regardless of how you spell it, the potato dish is a well-known and beloved side dish for many types of meat and vegetarian dishes.
Ingredients
- 500 gram Baked Potato
- 1 pcs. Onion
- 1 pcs. Egg
- Salt
- Pepper
- Olive Oil for frying
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Potatoes and onions are coarsely grated on a grater.
- The grated potatoes and onions are pressed/squeezed free of moisture in a dishtowel. Change the cloth if it becomes too wet - it is essential to press as much moisture out of the potatoes as possible. This way, the potatoes become deliciously crispy instead of soft.
- Mix potatoes, onions, eggs, salt, and pepper well in a bowl.
- Form the mixture into small, flat patties. Use a mold if you want completely uniform and perfectly shaped rösti. I did so in this case.
- Heat a pan with plenty of butter and olive oil and fry your rösti over medium heat for 20-25 minutes on each side. They are then ready to serve.
