Does anyone have a recipe for Rosti (A Swiss Potato dish)?

Question

I'm looking for an authentic recipe. The boxed version just does not cut it.

Answer 1

ROSTI

2 lbs. potatoes
3 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. milk

It is important that the potatoes be cooked at least 1 day before hand. They must be pressed together in the pan like a round loaf and covered with a soup bowl or a tightly fitting lid. Rosti must not be stirred, otherwise they will not form a crust. Boil the unpeeled potatoes until semi-tender the day before preparation. Peel and grate.

Heat butter in skillet. Add potatoes and sprinkle with salt. Using a spatula, press into a round loaf. Sprinkle with milk and cover tightly. Reduce heat as soon as potatoes begin to sizzle. Fry very slowly for another 30 minutes. During this time, a brown crust will form. Cover pan with a hot platter and flip the Rosti onto it.

Answer 2

I am a former chef who worked with the Movenpick Swiss restaurant chain, they are alot like a Jewish Latke with out the batter, just straight old grated potatos, seasonings, made in a cast iron pan, we had small ones the size of a saucer to make them in we did 100 a day.

But at home a skillet, either non stick or regular is fine, a bit of oil and the potato mixture, you cook the low and slow to develope the crisp outside and soft and fluffy inside, it quite and accomplishment to achieve this.

The best potato to use is a russet or baking potato, grate them and mix in salt, pepper, oil or bacon fat and a few breadcrumbs to just bind them, then put the mixutre in a lightly oiled pan mash them down and cook for 10-15 minute on medium low, then flip and do the other side.

If your doing multiple servings, keep them warm in a 300 d F oven until ready to serve, in a baking pan or ceramic cassarole. The number of rosti depends on the number of potatos used, figure for an individual 1- 1/2 to 3/4 a potato , for a family size or larger 2-3 potatos for 2 and 4-5 for 4 people.
