Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized Potatoes (waxy variety like Yukon Gold)
• 150 grams Cheddar cheese (grated)
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 tablespoon Parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely using a box grater. Once grated, place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, grated cheddar cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter along with the olive oil. Swirl the pan to coat it evenly.

Step 4

Divide the potato mixture into four equal portions. For each portion, place the mixture into the hot pan and flatten it gently with a spatula to form a round rosti roughly 1 cm thick.

Step 5

Cook the rostis for 4-5 minutes on the first side or until golden brown and crisp. Carefully flip them using a spatula, and add the remaining tablespoon of butter around the edges of the pan for extra flavor.

Step 6

Cook the rostis for another 4-5 minutes on the second side until they are crispy and the cheese has melted inside.

Step 7

Remove the rostis from the pan and drain them briefly on a paper towel to remove any excess grease.

Step 8

Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with a salad, sour cream, or applesauce for a complete meal.
