Ingredients
  

For the Rösti Base
  • 2 lb Potatoes, thin-skinned Waxy varieties provide the best structure and crispy texture.
  • Canola Oil Ensures a crispy exterior; olive oil works as a substitute.
  • Butter Adds rich flavor; margarine can be used for a dairy-free option.
  • Salt Essential for enhancing flavor.
  • Pepper Essential for enhancing flavor.
For the Filling
  • 1/2-1 lb Jarlsberg Cheese, grated Brings creamy, nutty flavor; Gruyère or Emmental can be substituted.
For the Garnish
  • 2 pieces Green Onions or Chives, chopped Adds color and flavor; can substitute with diced shallots.

Equipment

  • skillet
  • box grater

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling the potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes until tender. Drain and cool completely.
  2. Once the potatoes are cooled, coarsely grate them using a box grater, disposing of excess peel.
  3. In a skillet, heat canola oil and a tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes until shimmering.
  4. Spread half of the grated potatoes evenly in the skillet, pressing down gently. Season with salt, pepper, and some green onions or chives.
  5. Evenly scatter the grated Jarlsberg cheese over the potato layer, then top with remaining grated potatoes, patting down.
  6. Cook the Rösti for about 10-12 minutes until golden brown, flip onto a plate, then back to the skillet to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes.
  7. Slide the Rösti onto a cutting board, garnish with extra green onions or chives, slice into wedges, and serve warm.

Notes

For the best Rösti, ensure potatoes are waxy and completely cooled before frying. Use sufficient oil for a crispy texture and good-quality cheese for optimal flavor.
