Rosti or you can call it potato pancake. Easy to make and perfect for breakfast or side dish.
According to Wikipedia
Rösti or röschti is a Swiss dish consisting mainly of potatoes, in the style of a fritter. It was originally a breakfast dish, commonly eaten by farmers in the canton of Bern, but is now eaten all over Switzerland and around the world. The French name röstis bernois makes direct reference to the origins of the dish.
This week our 172 #Foodiemonday bloghop theme is #InternationalFeast.
This week Mayuri Patel who blog at Mayuri’s Jikoni suggested the theme.
Mayuri suggested World Cuisine for this week. So the country we have to choose a dish from to make should begin with our name’s first letter. Interesting isn’t it ☺️
I have chosen beautiful country Switzerland famous for it’s chocolate. And the dish name is Rosti begin with the first letter of my nick name ha ha no its not in the rule but when I was searching for recipes noticed this easy to make potato pancake rosti. I loved the recipe.
Adopted the recipe from
the spruce Eats. This Swiss rosti recipe is very simple. You can add onion, parsley paprika, nutmeg etc.
But I have made it with only salt and pepper. Next time I will try with green chilli, cilantro and some Indian spices. I am sure it will be also taste great with any seasoning.
I have tried to make it little thin but if you want to make perfect round shaped rosti follow the exact recipe.

Recipe
Potatoes – 4
Salt – 1 & 1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper powder – 1/2 teaspoon or to taste
Olive oil or butter – 3 – 4 tablespoon
Method
1. Peel and wash the potatoes.
2. Grate the potatoes. Use a grater with big holes. Fine grater would make your potatoes mushy.
3. Add 1 teaspoon salt in the grated potatoes and mix well. Keep aside for 5 – 6 minutes.
4. Take a fistful grated potato, press tightly and squeeze well. This way squeeze all the grated potatoes and place in a bowl.
5. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Mix well. You can add ground paprika, finely chopped onion or parsley. Or add chopped green chilli, chaat masala, cumin powder and handful chopped coriander leaves or cilantro.
6. Heat half of the oil or butter in a pan. You can also use any vegetable oil. When the oil becomes hot, add grated potatoes in it. Add small amount at a time. Add potatoes about 1 inch deep. Add the potatoes till the bottom part of the pan fully covered.
7. Cook on medium heat. Stir and cook for a minute with a spatula to coat the potatoes with olive oil or butter.
9. Spread the potatoes in the pan and press with a spatula.
10. Press gently with spatula to make the layer evenly. Cook on medium heat.
11. Cook for 10 minutes. Now cover and cook again for 5 – 10 minutes or till the bottom part becomes golden brown.
12. Now place a plate on the top of the pan and transfer it on the plate.
13. Add remaining oil or butter in the pan. When it becomes enough hot slide potato pancake in the pan cooked side up. Press down with a spatula.
14. Cook it for about 15 minutes or until the bottom side becomes golden brown. You can make small sized rosti if you like. I have made one small individual sized.
15. Swiss potato rosti is ready to serve. Transfer the rosti on a plate. Sprinkle salt and pepper if require.
14. Slice and serve hot.
Notes
1. You can boil and peel the potatoes and refrigerate overnight. Next day grate just before making rosti.
2. You can add finely chopped onion and green chilli with grated potatoes if you like.

Yummy rosti, an easy to make pancake and one can add any ingredient to it to make it filling and tasty. I’d love to try it with chopped chili and coriander. Curious to know what your nick name is 😉
Thanks a lot Mayuri. Please do try with your favourite spices. And my nickname is Ratna 😀
We make rosti quite so often kids belive it is a norm to make rosti every week. I like the individual sized ones you have made, looks cool
Thank you so much Seema 😊
Sujataji or Ratnaji as I know your secret nick name now. ha ha .. The Rosti is my husband’s fav but I rarely make it as it consumes butter way too much. Once in a while, this sinful indulgence is what we should look forward too. I like simple seasoning but husband prefers the Indian touch of coriander, green chillies etc.
Ha ha yes Ratna but my elder sister in law ( jethani) is also Ratna so I am Sujata in my in-laws home. My own family call me Ratna 😀
Yes you are right its sinful. And I also like it with Indian spices.
Bengalis have daak naam anyways and I think most even change their name post marriage, isn’t it?. But honestly, I prefer Sujata over Ratna any day. Ha Ha.. Dont mind at all.
Lol nobody changed my name. Sujata is my original name. I born and raised in Gaya. A place where Goutam Buddha obtained enlightenment. The girl named Sujata offered kheer as Buddha was meditating for 7 years without any food. My kaka (uncle) named me Sujata. And you know what everyone thinks my kheer is always extraordinary delicious 😀
LOve these pancakes using potato 🙂 what an unique pick di to share for theme !!!
Thank you so much Sasmita 😊
