WORLD ON MY PLATE: SWITZERLAND 🇨🇭 Potato Rosti / Roesti

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil reduces saturated fat and adds flavor.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option with a cheesy flavor.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked sausage

Turkey bacon is lower in fat while still providing a savory taste.

onion

🥗Healthier: green onions

💰Cheaper: leeks

Green onions add freshness and are often less expensive.

Parboil the potatoes (till the potato is tender but not fully cooked) and store it in the refrigerator overnight.

Peel and grate the potatoes into large shreds.

Add generous amount of butter into the pan and fry the grated potato for 4-5 mins.

Flatten the potatoes to form a cake and cook for 10 mins or until golden brown on both sides.

(Alternative) Grate potatoes and mix in salt. Allow the salt to release water from the potatoes and continue cooking the same way, using a lid to cover the pan if using raw potatoes.
