A very inexpensive but delicious recipe of Swiss origin. It's called rösti. From 3 potatoes and 3 green onions, you get a very affordable breakfast. If you miss the meat, you can quickly fry some ham at the end to satisfy men who need a little meat, or add grated bacon directly to the potato mixture 😉

Here you can watch a video with the technique for flipping the rosti.

Ingredients

3 large potatoes
3 green onion stalks
salt, pepper
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons butter

How to prepare swiss potato rosti

Boil the potatoes with their skin in plenty of salted water until they are about 90% cooked. Let them cool, peel them, then grate using a coarse grater.
Mix with chopped green onion, salt to taste, and plenty of pepper.
* you can also add coarsely grated bacon to the potato mixture
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet (about 30cm diameter) and add the potatoes in a layer about one finger thick. Fry over medium-low heat until golden, then flip the rosti onto a large plate (or wooden board). Heat the remaining oil and butter in the skillet and flip the rosti back in with the uncooked side down, and continue frying until golden.
* you can also make mini-rostis by placing small mounds of the potato mixture in the skillet and frying on both sides
Remove from the skillet using the same technique. Serve immediately with yogurt.
