Ingredients
- 300 grams Parsnips
- 300 grams Potatoes
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the parsnips and potatoes, then coarsely grate them using a box grater or a food processor.
Step 2
Peel and grate the onion as well, then place the grated parsnips, potatoes, and onion into a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated vegetables, flour, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form a cohesive mixture.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Step 5
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the mixture per rösti into the pan, flattening each mound slightly with the back of a spatula to form a patty shape.
Step 6
Cook the röstis for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed.
Step 7
Transfer cooked röstis to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve hot, either as a side dish or topped with sour cream and chives for a main course option.
