Swiss Hash Browns Rösti Recipes

Steps:

• Grate Potatoes using a hand grater.
• Melt 3 Tb butter over medium heat, in an 8" non-stick saute pan, then add grated potatoes. Sprinkle with salt.
• Stir potatoes to coat evenly with butter. Pat the potatoes into a cake about 1" thick. Let cook for 10 minutes. Cover and cook for another 5-10 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
• Place a plate over the top of the pan and invert the pancake. Add 1 Tb butter and put the pancake ( uncooked side down) in the pan.
• Cook for 15 minutes, pressing down once or twice to get more of a pancake. Cover and cook for 5 more minutes or until the bottom is golden brown.
• slide pancake onto plate and cut into wedges. Sprinkle with more salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Helpful equipment: Potato ricer (easy way to remove excess moisture) or cheesecloth or tea towel Box grater or food processor with a shredding blade Wash potaotes (I don't peel them, unless you are using Russets) and grate Squeeze out as much moisture as you can (to avoid gummy potatoes). Add grated onion (if using) Add olive oil, pepper and go easy on adding salt (you can always add more). Toss to combine. Heat a skillet, with about 2-3 tsp olive oil on medium heat until it is rippling and just starting to smoke. Add the pat of unsalted butter (for flavor). Evenly distribute the potatoes and allow to cook until golden brown. Press down with a large spatula (I use a bacon press to weight it down). Flip over and continue to cook until golden brown. Total cooking time is approximately 20 minutes. If desired, crack 4 eggs on top and cover. Allow to cook for 3-4 minutes longer and serve. Otherwise, you can cook eggs separately and serve.
