Rosti (Swiss Potato Patties)
Rösti is a potato dish from Switzerland. It was originally a common breakfast eaten by farmers in the canton of Bern, but today is eaten all over Switzerland.
Ingredients
- 1 potato (either washed or peeled)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
Steps
- Grate the potato into a dish, and squeeze out the excess moisture, discarding the liquid.
- Split the mixture into two even piles.
- Pour the oil into a frying pan and heat moderately.
- Place the two piles separately onto the pan, pushing down on top of them with a spatula in order to ensure that the piles stay intact.
- Fry until the underside is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
