Crispy Swiss Rösti – Traditional Potato Pancake Recipe

1. 1

   Peel and grate the potatoes into a bowl. Rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch, then squeeze out any moisture.

2. 2

   Finely chop the onion and mix it with the grated potatoes in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, and nutmeg.

3. 3

   Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the potato mixture and spread it evenly.

4. 4

   Cook for about 10 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Carefully flip the rösti and cook the other side until crispy.

5. 5

   If using egg and flour, mix them in before cooking to help bind the ingredients. This step is optional.

6. 6

   Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Cut into wedges and serve hot, optionally with sour cream.
