Ingredients:

• 4 large russet potatoes, peeled
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Optional toppings: sour cream, smoked salmon, chopped fresh herbs, fried eggs

Instructions:

1. Grate the Potatoes:
   • Using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating attachment, grate the peeled potatoes into long, thin strands.
2. Remove Excess Moisture:
   • Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture. This will help the Rösti become crispy when fried.
3. Season and Mix:
   • Transfer the squeezed potatoes to a large mixing bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to combine.
4. Cook the Rösti:
   • In a large non-stick skillet, heat the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
   • Add the seasoned grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them out evenly to form a compact layer. Press down gently with a spatula to flatten the mixture.
   • Cook the Rösti undisturbed for 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom is golden and crispy.
5. Flip and Cook the Other Side:
   • Carefully invert the Rösti onto a large plate. Add a little more butter and oil to the skillet if needed.
   • Slide the Rösti back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Cook for another 10-15 minutes, or until the second side is golden and crispy.
6. Serve:
   • Once both sides of the Rösti are golden and crispy, transfer it to a serving plate.
   • Cut the Rösti into wedges and serve hot, accompanied by optional toppings such as sour cream, smoked salmon, chopped fresh herbs, or fried eggs.
7. Enjoy:
   • Enjoy the delicious and comforting flavors of this Swiss-inspired Rösti, a fusion of crispy grated potatoes that will transport you to the picturesque Swiss Alps with every bite! Guten Appetit!

This Swiss-inspired Rösti is a versatile and satisfying dish that's perfect for any meal of the day. Whether enjoyed as a side dish or topped with your favorite ingredients, this fusion creation is sure to become a favorite in your culinary repertoire.
