Rosti

30 Sep

This is in reply to a request which was posted earlier asking for a rosti recipe from the interlaken district of Switzerland. I'm not sure if this is what Michael was looking for but the recipe is easy,

tastes great and is something different you can do with the humble old

potato. Firstly, you will need about four medium to large potatoes (this is

for four people). Peel them and boil them for ten minutes (the time

may vary depending on the size of the potatoes, however the potatoes

should remain hard. It's important not to boil them for too long.)

Allow the potatoes to cool slightly then wrap in plastic wrap and refridgerate for at least one hour. Grate the potatoes (they should be

quite sticky) add salt to taste then pat into a flat round and fry in

butter for about 5-10 minutes on each side or until they are golden

brown. Slice into wedges and serve.

I find that if you make them into smaller individual patties they are

easier to turn when cooking and look nicer when served.
