Swiss-Style Rösti

Peel the potatoes, grate them on a box grater, and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter and toss it with the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper, mix well.

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet and add a portion of the potato mixture.

Flatten it with a spatula into a pancake about 1 cm thick.

Fry the rösti over medium heat for 10–12 minutes until it gets a nice golden crust.

Run a spatula around the edges to loosen the rösti from the bottom of the pan.

Cover the skillet with a large plate or board and carefully flip the potato pancake over.

Add the remaining butter and slide the rösti back into the pan.

Fry for another 10 minutes or so until the other side is golden brown.
