Potato Rosti
Do as the Swiss do—slice this potato pancake and eat between baguette slices for a long day on the slopes.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lbs russet potatoes
- 1/2 sweet onion, grated
- 2 Tbs all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 4 tsp olive oil, divided
- 1 Tbs unsalted butter, divided
- 1/4 cup fat-free sour cream
Directions
- Scrub potatoes with vegetable brush under cold running water; peel potatoes. Shred on a box grater or with the shredding blade of a food processor.
- Take a handful of the shredded potatoes and squeeze to remove excess liquid. Place in large bowl and repeat with remaining potatoes. Stir in onion, flour, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Over medium heat, heat a 10-inch skillet. Add 2 teaspoons of the oil and 1 teaspoons of the butter and heat until butter melts and foams.
- Add potato mixture, spreading evenly in the pan, pressing down with a spatula to form a disk. Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 11 to 12 minutes.
- Carefully slide the rosti onto a plate, Invert a second plate over the rosti and flip over so that the browned side is now on top.
- Return skillet to the heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 1 1/2 teaspoon butter and heat until melted.
- Slide the rosti back into the skillet and cook until the second side is golden brown and crisp, about 6 to 7 minutes longer.
- Slide rosti out of pan onto serving plate or cutting board. Cut into four wedges and top with sour cream to serve.
