Swiss cheese rosti with potatoes

Rosti is a traditional Swiss dish made primarily with potatoes, often enjoyed for breakfast or as a side dish. Our recipe adds a delicious twist to this classic by incorporating rich Swiss cheese, giving it a creamy texture and enhanced flavor. Perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, this Swiss Cheese Rosti is sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

2 tbsp water
30g
8 oz swiss cheese
230g
6 tbsp butter
81g
1 dash salt
0.40g
6 potatoes
2210g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel the potatoes and grate them using a coarse grater or a food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

2. Season the Potatoes:
- In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes with a dash of salt and black pepper. Ensure even seasoning throughout.
3. Preheat the Pan:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of butter and allow it to melt, coating the bottom of the skillet evenly.
4. Cook the Potatoes:
- Spread the grated potatoes evenly in the skillet, pressing them down with a spatula to form a flat, even layer. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom turns golden brown and crispy.
5. Add Cheese and Water:
- Sprinkle the grated Swiss cheese evenly over the top of the cooked potatoes. Pour the 2 tablespoons of water around the edges of the skillet, helping to steam the potatoes and melt the cheese.
6. Flip the Rosti:
- Carefully slide the rosti onto a large plate. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter to the skillet and let it melt. Place the plate back over the skillet, then quickly flip the rosti back into the skillet to cook the other side.
7. Finish Cooking:
- Continue cooking the rosti until the second side is also golden brown and crispy, about another 10-15 minutes. The cheese should be melted and bubbly.
8. Serve:
- Once both sides are nicely browned, slide the rosti onto a serving plate. Let it cool for a few minutes before cutting it into wedges.

9. Enjoy:
- Serve Swiss cheese rosti warm as a delicious side dish or a main course. Pair it with a fresh salad or sautéed vegetables for a complete meal.

Tips:

- 1. Select starchy potatoes like Russets for best results.

- 2. For added flavor, consider mixing in some finely chopped onions or herbs with the grated potatoes.

- 3. Use a non-stick pan to prevent sticking and ensure easy flipping.

- 4. Make sure to dry the grated potatoes thoroughly to achieve a crispier rosti.

- 5. Adjust the seasoning to your taste by experimenting with different herbs and spices.

With its golden, crispy crust and a gooey, cheesy center, Swiss Cheese Rosti combines the best of traditional Swiss cuisine with an added touch of decadence. Follow these steps and tips to achieve a perfect rosti every time—ideal for impressing guests at brunch or savoring a comforting meal at home. Enjoy!
