Whether served as a side dish or a main course, potato rösti is a true delight. Here’s how to prepare them step by step: Ingredients: - 400 g potatoes, peeled and grated - 2 eggs, beaten - 3 tablespoons of flour - 1 tablespoon of horseradish paste (you can adjust the amount according to your preferences) - 5 red onions, finely chopped - Salt and black pepper, to taste - 1 tablespoon of oil (for frying) - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish - 4 tablespoons of sour cream (for serving) Step 1: Preparing the mixture Start by grating the potatoes into a large bowl. It is essential to squeeze them well with your hands to remove excess water. This step is crucial for achieving crispy rösti. Add the beaten eggs, flour, horseradish paste, and chopped red onion. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then mix all the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Useful tips: If you like a stronger horseradish flavor, you can add an extra portion. Use freshly grated horseradish for an added aroma. Step 2: Heating the oil In a large frying pan, heat the oil over medium heat. It is important for the oil to be hot enough; otherwise, the rösti will not fry evenly. Step 3: Forming the rösti Using a spoon, take 2-3 tablespoons of the potato mixture and place them in the pan. Use the back of the spoon to flatten them, forming patties about 5 mm thick. Unique detail: If you want to add a touch of originality, you can incorporate fresh herbs, such as dill or thyme, into the potato mixture. Step 4: Frying the rösti Fry the rösti for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan. Step 5: Draining and serving Once the rösti are ready, remove them with a spatula and let them drain on kitchen towels to remove excess oil. Serve hot, drizzled with sour cream and garnished with freshly chopped parsley. If you prefer to use them as a side dish, you can skip the sour cream.
