Ingredients

1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, chilled and shredded
1/4 pound onions, shredded
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Combine potatoes and onions in a tea towel. Squeeze as much liquid as possible from the mixture. In a large mixing bowl, combine this mixture with the oil and divide into four equal parts.

In a 10-inch non-stick saute pan melt 1/2 a tablespoon of butter. Season one part of potato mixture with salt and pepper and spread into a thin layer in the pan. Brown for 5 to 7 minutes. Invert the roesti onto pan lid and remove pan from heat. Add additional 1/2 tablespoon of butter to the preheated pan. Slide roesti into pan raw side down and brown for an additional 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a rack and hold in a warm oven. Repeat previous steps for remaining potato mixture.

Tasty but couldn't flip
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made the roesti recipe, and it was very good. The only problem was trying to flip them over...I got oily potatoes all over... the burners and burned my fingers to boot. I tried with a plate; with a generic lid; with a spatula- it was a mess, but tasty. Maybe next time...did anyone else have trouble?Read more

A Swiss Dish to Love
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

A great way to serve potatoes, very easy. This version is quite good, but I have been to Swiss restaurants and learned to add... sweated leaks to the potatoes, and top with Swiss or Ementaler cheese after frying, baking on a cookie sheet at 400 for about 10 minutes... Excellent!!!Read more

Good, but not the best recipe
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

Careful of the cooking time. Easy to burn. I probably won't make this again, because the family recipe tastes better. ... Still, I learned something from the recipe: when to add the salt. This was pretty good, even my finicky daughter would eat it.Read more
