  • About

This is the ultimate potato pancake! In Switzerland, rösti (pronounced “rooshti”) means “crisp and golden.” Grate the onion alternately with the potatoes to prevent them from turning black.

Ingredients

  • 3 large or 4 medium Idaho (russet) potatoes, peeled (see Note)
  • 1 medium onion, halved
  • 1

Method

Grater: Alternately grate potatoes and onion, using medium pressure.

Spray a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet with nonstick spray. Add oil and heat on medium heat. Spread potato mixture evenly in skillet. Press down firmly on potatoes with a spatula to form a large pancake; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until bottom is browned and crusty.</
