Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese
• 0.5 cup Emmental cheese
• 0.5 cup White wine
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the russet potatoes onto a clean kitchen towel. Wrap the grated potatoes in the towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Dry potatoes yield crispier hash browns.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the dried grated potatoes with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Spread half of the potatoes evenly in the skillet, pressing them down slightly with a spatula to form a uniform layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.

Step 5

Carefully flip the hash brown layer and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, adding more butter and olive oil as needed.

Step 6

For the cheese fondue, rub the inside of a medium saucepan or fondue pot with the cut side of the garlic clove. Discard the garlic.

Step 7

In a small bowl, toss the Gruyère and Emmental cheeses with the cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 8

Pour the white wine into the saucepan and heat gently over medium-low heat until it begins to simmer. Gradually add the cheese mixture, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.

Step 9

Stir in the heavy cream and nutmeg. If the fondue is too thick, thin it out with a little more wine or cream.

Step 10

Serve the crispy hash browns on a platter with the cheese fondue on the side for dipping, or pour the fondue over the hash browns for a decadent presentation. Enjoy immediately!
