Ingredients
- 4 large Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons White pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing and peeling the potatoes. Grate them using a box grater or food processor.
Step 2
After grating, place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This ensures maximum crispiness.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, white pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Step 4
Preheat a heavy-bottomed frying pan or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, allowing them to melt and blend.
Step 5
Once the butter and oil are hot, spread the seasoned potatoes in an even layer across the pan. Press down gently with a spatula to compact them slightly.
Step 6
Cook the rosti on medium heat for about 12-15 minutes, or until the underside is golden brown and crispy. During this time, avoid moving the potatoes to allow the crust to form.
Step 7
Carefully flip the rosti. To do this, you can invert it onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan browned side up. Add the remaining butter and oil to the pan before sliding the potatoes back in.
Step 8
Cook the other side for another 12-15 minutes, ensuring it is equally golden and crispy.
Step 9
Once both sides are cooked, remove the rosti from the pan and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
Step 10
Slice the rosti into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your low sodium classic Swiss rosti!
