Ingredients

Method

  1. Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely.
  2. Squeeze them hard in a clean tea towel to get out as much water as possible. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat half the butter with the oil in a 24 cm frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Spread the potatoes in the pan, pressing them into a cake, and cook for 10 minutes until golden underneath.
  5. Turn it out onto a plate, add the rest of the butter, slide it back in and cook for another 10 minutes.
  6. Cut into wedges and serve at once.

💡 Tip : The harder you squeeze the potatoes, the crispier the rösti.
