Ingredients
- 800 grams Yukon Gold potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Step 2
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving a crispy rosti.
Step 3
Transfer the grated and drained potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Add the salt and black pepper, tossing well to combine.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Make sure the oil covers the entire surface of the pan.
Step 5
Spread the grated potatoes evenly in the skillet, pressing them lightly with a spatula to form a compact, flat cake.
Step 6
Cook the rosti for about 12-15 minutes on one side, until it forms a golden-brown crust.
Step 7
Carefully flip the rosti: place a large plate over the skillet, invert the skillet to release the rosti onto the plate, and then slide it back into the skillet, adding another tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 8
Continue cooking for another 12-15 minutes on the other side until it becomes golden-brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once cooked, slide the potato rosti onto a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh chives if desired, and serve immediately.
