Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
Directions
Step 1
Wash the potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Using a box grater, grate the potatoes using the large-hole side.
Step 2
Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to achieving a crispy rosti.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes with salt and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the unsalted butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Swirl the skillet to coat the bottom evenly.
Step 5
Add the grated potato mixture to the skillet. Using a spatula, press down firmly to shape into a flat, even layer. This help the rosti cook evenly and develop a crisp crust.
Step 6
Cook for about 12 to 15 minutes on the first side without moving, until the bottom turns golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the rosti onto the plate.
Step 8
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet. Slide the rosti back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Cook for another 12 to 15 minutes or until the underside is golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Once cooked, transfer the rosti to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh chives for a touch of color and flavor.
Step 10
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Perfect as a heart-healthy side dish or a light meal.
