Rösti (Roesti) RecipeRösti is a traditional Swiss dish of fried grated potatoes, a little like a hash brown. Roesti are usually served as a side, although they can also make a wonderful main along with a salad and perhaps an egg, sunny side up.
In this recipe you can choose to either make one large roesti or 4 individual ones. Firstly peel the cooked potatoes and grate them through a coarse grater. Slice the onions into thin wedges (Lyonnaise). Melt the butter (please resist the temptationto use oil as you will not have the same result!) in a non-stick frying pan and add the onions and sweat them until they look glassy and transparent. Add the grated potatoes and the salt and stir through. Fry while stirring them around in the pan for about 3 to 5 minutes. Press together to form a flat cake and fry over medium heat until there is a golden crust on the bottom. Place a serving platter on the pan and turn the pan upside down, so the Roesti falls on the platter with the crust on top. Alternatively, toss the roesti into the air and flip it like a pancake back into the pan, then slide it onto the serving platter and serve immediately. Variations Bernese Roesti: Add streaky bacon, cut in small strips (lardons) orcubes. Basilean Roesti: Use half sliced onions and half potatoes. Valaisian Roesti: Once the roesti has cooked; place sliced tomatoes and some Raclette cheese (or any other well melting salty cheese) over the top. When the cheese has melted, serve with the roesti on the bottom, so don't flip! (Serves 4) |
Hey, there you go. That’s it. It was so, so, so, good. But, it is total carbs. So, only for the holiday period when the low-carb goes out the window and I do my beached whale imitation.
I want to congratulate the AUBURN ALABAMA POST OFFICE. They just called to let us know our passports are in their facillity. Yippee! We WILL get them this morning. We WILL leave today.
THEY CALLED US because they knew I was looking for it and wanted to be helpful.
WAR EAGLE! WAY TO GO, AUBURN!
