- Heat the Pan:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or cast iron pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter or oil and let it melt and heat up.
- Form the Rösti:
- Take a handful of the potato mixture and shape it into a patty. Place it gently into the hot pan and flatten it slightly with a spatula. Repeat with the rest of the mixture, making sure not to overcrowd the pan (you may need to cook in batches).
- Fry Until Crispy:
- Fry each Rösti for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully using a spatula, pressing down slightly to ensure they cook evenly.
- Drain:
- Once crispy, transfer the Rösti to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 4: Serve
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with freshly chopped herbs like parsley or thyme if desired. Serve your Crispy Potato Pancakes (Rösti) warm as a side dish with eggs, smoked salmon, or a dollop of sour cream.
Tips:
- Extra Crispiness: For even crispier Rösti, you can add a tablespoon of cornstarch along with the flour or cook the Rösti on medium-low heat, giving them more time to get crispy without burning.
- Cheese: For added flavor, grate a small amount of cheese (like Gruyère) into the potato mixture.
- Variation: Try adding cooked bacon, chives, or even spinach to the mixture for a twist on the classic Rösti.
- Oven Finish: If you prefer, after pan-frying, you can place the Rösti on a baking sheet and finish them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
