Swiss Cheese Rösti
This recipe offers a satisfying crunch along with the creamy goodness only Swiss cheese can provide. It’s a simple yet comforting dish that highlights the best of Swiss flavors!
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Begin by peeling the potatoes and then grating them using a box grater or a food processor. Once grated, place them in a clean kitchen towel; twist and squeeze to remove excess moisture from the potatoes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, chopped onion, and grated Swiss cheese. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, mixing thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well distributed.
- In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Once melted, add half of the potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly into a round cake shape. Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.
- Carefully flip the rösti using a plate – slide it onto a plate, then invert the skillet over the plate and flip it back to cook the other side. Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet as needed and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until both sides are crispy and golden.
- Transfer the cooked rösti to a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture. You can keep the finished rösti warm in a low oven while cooking in batches.
- Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired. Serve hot, and enjoy the wonderful, cheesy, and crispy experience of Swiss Cheese Rösti!
This delightful dish is not just a meal; it’s an experience filled with warmth and flavor. Enjoy your cooking and wonderful dining experience with this Swiss classic!
