instructions

Preparation:
Parboil the potato: in a small pot, add potato and water; the water should cover potato. Bring it to the boil over high heat, cook until you can slide a knife into the potato with some resistance. It takes about 10mins, the time may vary depending on the size of the potato. Reduce the time if you use small size potato.
Chill the parboiled potato: place the parboiled potato in a bowl, refrigerate until cool enough to handle. I like to parboil it at night, chill overnight, and make potato cake the next day.

Grate the potato: use the large holes of grater to grate the potato.
Season the potato: season the grated potato with 1/2tsp salt and 1/2tsp grounded black pepper.

Cook the rösti:
Pre-heat a 8″ non-stick pan over medium heat for 2mins.
Add 2tbsp vegetable oil or butter, cook for about 1min.
Put the potato into the pan, use hand to evenly distribute it across the pan. use hand or spatula to press the potato down firmly which can help the rösti hold together.
Cook with low heat until the bottom is golden brown, which takes about 5-7mins. Use the spatula to take a peek underneath to see if it becomes brown. If it doesnot start browning after 5mins, you can increase the heat.
Flip the rösti: cover pan with cutting board or big plate, hold the handle of the pan, flip quickly.
Add another 2tbsp vegetable oil into the pan, cook for 1min.
Slide the rösti back to the pan, cook with low heat for another 5-7mins until golden crispy.
Rösti can be served as breakfast, side dish or snack. Ketchup, sour cream, or mayonnaise are great dressing for rösti.
