Potato Rosti Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Dry-fry the bacon in a pan for 5 mins until crisp, then chop into small pieces. Boil the whole potatoes for 5 mins, drain, then place in a bowl of chilled water.
• When cool enough to handle, pat the potatoes dry and roughly grate into a large bowl. Toss with the oil as you go, to stop them from sticking. Roughly grate the onion and squeeze out any excess juice, then stir into the potatoes along with the bacon.
• Place a baking sheet in the oven for 5 mins to warm through. Liberally grease a 23cm loose-bottomed cake tin with butter. Scatter the potato over the tin, trying not to pack it down, then dot all over the top with butter. Place on the hot baking sheet and bake in the oven for 1 hr 20 mins until the potatoes are cooked through and crisp on top.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/gas 6.
• Cut the potatoes into thin matchsticks using a julienne attachment on a mandoline or food processor. Or, cut into thin rounds and use a sharp knife to cut the rounds into strips {more time consuming, but it works!}
• Heat the butter and olive oil in an 8-in/20-cm ovenproof cast-iron or non-stick frying pan, over medium heat. Add the rosemary to the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are soft and a few pieces are brown. At this point, the potatoes should have settled into a round flat pancake.
• Transfer the potatoes in the skillet to the hot oven to bake until the top and bottom are golden and crispy and the center is soft but cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and slide out of the pan onto paper towels/absorbent papers. Slide onto a baking sheet/tray and continue until the top and bottom are cooked to a deep golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Serve in wedges or whole on a plate in the middle of the table for breaking and nibbling.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shred potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap potatoes in a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out liquid. Place in a medium bowl; toss with salt and pepper.
• Heat half the butter in a 9- or 10-inch ovenproof nonstick saute pan over medium-low heat. Spread potatoes in pan evenly; press down with a spatula to flatten cake. Cook until bottom is golden and turning crisp, about 18 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat. Invert cake onto a plate; slide back into pan. Return to heat, and spoon remaining butter around edges of pan. Cook until other side begins to get crisp, about 10 minutes, shaking pan several times to loosen.
• Transfer to oven until cooked through and tender in the center, about 12 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees, with rack in lower third. Generously brush a 17-by-12-inch rimmed baking sheet with oil.
• Place onions in a large bowl. Peel potatoes, and grate on the large holes of a box grater, adding them to bowl and stirring into onions as you work to prevent discoloration. Squeeze handfuls of the mixture to release excess liquid, and transfer mixture to another bowl.
• Add salt, pepper, cheese, and oil to potato mixture, and toss well to combine. Sprinkle mixture over prepared baking sheet, and press down lightly with your hands to form an even layer.
• Bake until golden, about one hour. Remove from oven, and cut into squares. Serve immediately with applesauce.

Steps:

• Grate potatoes and squeeze out excess liquid.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet (preferably nonstick) over medium heat and add potatoes; shape into a disc.
• Cook until golden brown, about 10 minutes, adjusting heat as necessary.
• Slide cake onto a plate, cover with another plate and invert. Add more butter to the pan and slide cake back in.
• Continue cooking until browned all over, turning again if necessary.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Steps:

• Squeeze as much moisture as you can from grated potatoes. Place both into a large bowl.
• Add remaining ingredients & stir well to combine.
• Heat oil in a large pan & cook 1/4 cup batches of the mixture until golden on both sides.
• Drain on absorbent paper.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Peel and coarsely grate the potatoes. Combine the potatoes with the melted butter, salt and pepper and mix well. Heat a 10-inch saute pan on medium high heat, lightly grease, and add the potato mixture, form into a cake shape. Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown. Flip the "cake" and cook the other side until it is golden brown. Remove from the pan and garnish with chopped parsley.
