Best Rösti With Parma Ham And Emmenthal Recipes

RöSTI

Steps:

• Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain them and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel the potatoes, then refrigerate them until chilled, for at least 1 hour. Lastly, grate them using the large holes on a cheese grater; reserve on the side.
• Heat lard or butter and oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When melted, add potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and mix well, coating the potatoes with fat. Then, gently press the potatoes using a spatula, molding them to fit the skillet. Cook, occasionally shaking, until edges are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
• When one side is done, cover the skillet with a large plate and invert the rösti over onto it, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side of the fritter. Fry until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Lastly, transfer onto a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and cut into wedges to serve.

RöSTI WITH PARMA HAM AND EMMENTHAL

Steps:

• 1. Thoroughly squeeze out the moisture from the grated potatoes.
• 2. Season the grated potato generously with salt and freshly ground pepper. Mix in the melted butter, garlic and egg.
• 3. Heat a medium frying pan until hot. Add the potato mixture, shaping it into a pancake shape.
• 4. Fry until set, around 10 minutes, flip over and fry for a further 10 minutes until golden brown on both sides.
• 5. Meanwhile, heat the remaining butter in a small, heavy-based frying pan. Add the thyme and onions and fry gently for 10 minutes until the onion is softened.
• 6. Preheat the oven to 375°F
• 7. Slice the fried potato rosti onto a baking sheet. Spread the fried onion over the rosti and layer with the Parma ham, then top with the Emmenthal.
• 8. Bake the rosti for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted. Serve warm from the oven.

RöSTI (ROESTI)

Steps:

• Peel the cooked potatoes and grate them through a coarse grater.
• Slice the onions into thin wedges.
• Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan and add the onions and sweat them until they look glassy and transparent.
• Add the grated potatoes and the salt and stir through.
• Fry while stirring them around in the pan for about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Press together to form a flat cake and fry over medium heat until there is a golden crust on the bottom.
• Place a serving platter on the pan and turn the pan upside down, so the Roesti falls on the platter with the crust on top.
• Serve immediately.

HAM & SWISS ROSTI

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter. Add ham and onions and saute until onions are tender. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine eggs, swiss cheese, garlic, salt and potatoes. Mix in ham and onions. Pour into large skillet on medium heat. Press mixture down firmly into pan. Cook for 12-15 minutes. Place a large plate over the skillet and turn over onto plate. Slide back into the skillet to cook the potato mixture on the other side. You will need to make sure there is enough oil in the pan to prevent sticking. Continue to cook for about another 10 minutes. Slide back on to the plate and cut into wedges. This comes out crispy and delicious!

RöSTI WITH BLACK FOREST HAM AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion; sauté 5 minutes. Place 2 1/2 cups grated potatoes in medium bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; toss to blend (reserve any remaining potatoes for another use). Stir onion mixture, ham, and chives into potatoes.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet over high heat. Add potato mixture. Using spatula, press mixture to even thickness, covering skillet bottom completely. Cook 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-high. Cook until potato cake is golden on bottom, about 7 minutes. Loosen cake; slide out onto large plate or rimless baking sheet. Turn skillet upside down atop cake. Invert skillet and plate, dropping cake back into skillet. Cook cake until golden on bottom, about 7 minutes. Place skillet in oven. Bake until Rösti is crisp, about 7 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Crack each egg and drop into skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Partially cover skillet; cook until egg whites are set, about 3 minutes.
• Cut Rösti into 4 wedges. Overlap 2 wedges of Rösti on each of 2 plates; top Rösti wedges on each plate with 1 egg.
