Serves: 2, Difficulty: Expert

Preparation Time: 20 mins, Cooking Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 400 grams of potatoes
• 30 grams of butter
• 3 grams of salt
• 2 grams of black pepper
• 2 grams of fresh rosemary, finely chopped
• 2 grams of fresh thyme, finely chopped
• 2 grams of fresh parsley, for garnish

Method

• Peel and grate the potatoes. Once grated, wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and press to remove as much moisture as possible. This is crucial for the crispiness of the rösti.
• Heat 20 grams of butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the grated potatoes in a single layer, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten.
• Sprinkle salt, black pepper, rosemary, and thyme over the potatoes, and cook for 15-20 minutes on each side, or until the rösti is golden brown and crispy.
• Transfer the rösti to a serving platter and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

Tips

– For an extra crispy rösti, ensure the potatoes are as dry as possible before cooking.
– Do not rush the cooking process. Cooking on medium heat allows the potatoes to cook through and develop a crispy crust without burning.
– Serve with a side of fresh salad or a light Swiss cheese, if not restricted by dietary constraints, for an authentic Swiss culinary experience.
