Ingredients
Scale
- 2 to 3 medium-sized russet or yukon gold potatoes (460g)
- 3 tablespoons clarified butter or ghee (divided, 42g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 8 cups water for parboiling
Instructions
- Scrub and wash the potatoes; do not peel.
- Place the potatoes in a large pot with water and bring to medium-high heat. Cook until a fork can pierce the potatoes, but they remain firm and intact.
- Carefully drain the hot water and rinse the potatoes under cool water to help them cool down.
- Transfer the potatoes to a dry bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Once chilled, peel the potatoes and grate them using a box grater with the large holes. Do not wash the potatoes after peeling.
- Squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes using both hands. This ensures a perfect texture.
Notes
Refrigerating the potatoes helps achieve the right texture for frying.
Squeezing out moisture is essential for crispiness; don’t skip this step.
You can serve Potato Rosti with sour cream or applesauce for added flavor.
