Rösti (Roesti)

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 lbs potatoes, boiled in their jackets the day before (1kg)
• 2-3 tablespoons butter (a must)
• 1-2 medium onions
• salt

Directions

1. 1

   Peel the cooked potatoes and grate them through a coarse grater.

2. 2

   Slice the onions into thin wedges.

3. 3

   Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan and add the onions and sweat them until they look glassy and transparent.

4. 4

   Add the grated potatoes and the salt and stir through.

5. 5

   Fry while stirring them around in the pan for about 3 to 5 minutes.

6. 6

   Press together to form a flat cake and fry over medium heat until there is a golden crust on the bottom.

7. 7

   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.

8. 8

   Serve immediately.
