Crispy Golden Rosti, A Potato Lover's Delight
Crispy Potato Rosti combines the simplicity of potatoes with the irresistible allure of a crispy, golden crust that gives you an epic crunch with every bite!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 4 medium potatoes
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes into thin shreds. Put them into an ice bath while you grate more potatoes.PRO TIP: Thin strips allow the heat to spread evenly, for a uniformly golden crispy surface.
- Let them soak in the ice bath for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture.PRO TIP: This helps remove excess starch and moisture, resulting in a crispier texture once cooked.
- Transfer the grated potatoes into a mixing bowl. Add in cornstarch and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasoning.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat then add the grated potatoes to the pan. Spread them evenly, forming a thick pancake-like shape.PRO TIP: Drizzle some oil along the sides for an extra crisp.
- Cook the Rosti for around 10 to 12 minutes each side, or until it’s golden brown and enjoy!PRO TIP: Resist the urge to flip too early. Allow the Rosti to cook on one side until it turns golden brown and crispy. Flipping it too early can disrupt the crust formation. Be patient and give it time to develop that crunch!
- Optional Step: Experiment with additional ingredients like grated onions or herbs for extra flavour. And for a twist, add a layer of grated cheese on top of the Rosti while it’s cooking to create a cheesy crust.
