1

Wash the potatoes.

Cook the potatoes for about 4-5 minutes from the moment the water starts boiling.

4

Drain the potatoes.

Grate the potatoes using a cheese grater with large holes.

Put the grated potatoes in a bowl and add salt, black pepper, and any other spices if desired, then mix everything up.

8

Sprinkle a handful of potato starch or flour and start pressing the grated pieces together to form the rösti.

9

Pour enough olive oil to cover the whole non-stick pan and heat it up.

Once the oil is hot, start frying the potato disc for about 5-10 minutes on each side.
