Ingredients

  • 3 medium potatoes
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 8 cups of water for boiling

Instructions

  • Peel the potato, then cut into four pieces. 
  • Boil the water in a boiling pot, then add the potatoes to the pot. After boiling for about 10 minutes, before it is fully cooked, turn off the heat and drain the water.
  • Grate the par-boiled potatoes with a hand grater or grate using the grater attachment of the food processor. Add the salt and black pepper to the potatoes and mix well.
  • Heat the cast-iron skillet over medium heat, then add the olive oil and butter into the skillet. Once the oil is hot, transfer the mixture to the pan and apply light pressure until the top is flat.
  • After about 5 minutes, check the bottom side of the roesti with a silicone spatula, if it's golden brown, it's time to turn it.
  • Transfer the roesti from the skillet into the flat plate and cover it with a another flat plate top of the roesti and hold both plates together and turn it upside down. Put the pan back on the heat and olive oil again, when the oil is hot, gently slide the Roesti from the plate into the skillet.
  • Cooking of this side will be completed earlier due to the heat of the pan. Check after 3-4 minutes of cooking and remove from the heat when it turns golden brown.
  • Slice into 6 equal parts and serve warm.
