Ingredients:
- 4 medium russet potatoes (or Yukon Gold for a creamier texture)
- 1 small onion, finely grated (optional)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, helps with crispiness)
- 1 egg (optional, for binding)
- 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil (for frying)
- Fresh herbs (parsley or thyme), chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Potatoes
- Grate the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes (optional, depending on your preference) and grate them using a box grater or food processor. You want long, thin strands of potato.
- Rinse the Potatoes:
- Place the grated potatoes in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. This helps remove excess starch and makes them crispier when fried. Let them sit for 5 minutes.
- Drain and Dry:
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly, then use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. The drier the potatoes, the crispier your Rösti will be.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
- Combine the Potatoes and Onion:
- If using, grate the onion and add it to the potatoes. You can also use a small amount of grated garlic for extra flavor.
- Add Flour and Egg:
- If you’d like a bit of binding, mix in 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 beaten egg. This is optional, but it will help the Rösti hold together better.
- Season:
- Add salt and pepper to taste, and mix everything until well combined.
Step 3: Cook the Rösti
