I am French and done 2 last weekend. I must admit I like mixing the onion with the potatoes so you have different colors on the rôsti but obviously must watch carefully during the cooking to avoid burning the onions. For fat, I used a mix, oil, butter and pig fat

[@leung9401]

Looks interesting…. Here in Switzerland we usually parboil the potatoes in their skins until they’re almost done and let them cool overnight in the fridge. The next day we peel them right before grating. I guess your method results in a crispier outside. However, parboiling saves you the whole process of squeezing out the water. Clarified butter or pork fat are the most widely used fats for this dish in Switzerland. Classic Rösti is just potatoes and nothing else. You made a Zwiebelrösti; if you add bacon in lardons, you have a Berner Rösti.

[@robertcatuara5118]

Why not par bake them? That would be even less water. Thanks

What I like about this channel is it almost feels like its not made for me; but made for the chefs and the staff; the POV camera; the lack of over editing. The burger challenge felt like it was a research project the same with the other burger video I watched. I know you guys probably want to go viral; and hit that million subs for the sake of customer adoption; but I feel like the training, experiment and just documenting a detailed wiki for yourselves is why the core audience stays and watches all the way through; egg temperatures and all.

[@Philares66]

Unbelievable. Watching all your videos made me believe I can cook like this at home, and I can’t believe that it actually worked 85% of the time!

[@BobG127]

What I appreciate the most about this video is the chef's concentration on execution. No matter how great a recipe, it is paying attention to the basics of cooking that separate a great dish from a lesser one. People will have different ideas about what version of a dish is best, but I suspect these opinions were influenced greatly by the skills and dedication of the cooks. I have never made rösti in my decades of cooking. Unfortunately, this carb-laden dish is something I shouldn't eat. That said, it looks delicious and I just might make it when I can share it with someone. As for sharing, thank you, chef, for doing so not only with your recipe, but spending just enough time on explaining the process to ensure success.

Your method is the correct way to do it, when the Rosti. Is that thick. If you don’t par cook the spuds in their skins, the rosti will not cook properly in the middle. This rosti does does not look right. My Swiss grandfatherwill be turning in his grave.

[@Johnaubreyduncan]

@@IDuBStepSZ just enough so they are almost completely cooked, but not quite all the way through. Don’t grate them till they are cold. You don’t need to squeeze the water out. The rosti will be crispy on the outside, soft and moist in middle. Only use raw spuds if your rosti is going to be very thin.

There is a kitchen device to squeeze whatever. I bought it as an orange squeezer but it was as good as as sold. Other things work better. But it’s great for squeezing fresh grated coconut milk. It works as a lever with a cage to hold your goods. I also own a great coconut grater a child could use.

Tried this before with sub-par results, and loved watching this video. Finally clicked. As usual, the answer is don't be stingy with the fat.

I haven’t thought this through but it just struck me, whilst watching this, could the potato be prepared in a dehumidifier after grating to get a better (more consistent) result than the tea-towel trick?

I recommend to do it the Swiss way: Boil them the day before (until almost cooked or cooked), then peel them and grate them. No need to squeeze the moisture out at that point. Also the time in the pan is shorter this way, low-medium heat until golden brown on both sides.

I trained under Chef Nick Nairn in Scotland, the youngest chef then to get a Michelin Star, i am old this was in the 90's during Marco-Pierre White days. The Rosti as perfected by Pierre Kaufman is a potato delight. And after working for many years at Movenpick, the Rosti masters of Swiss/German Cuisine. I love your recipe, i will have to put caremalised onions in my Rosti - I am now giddy as a German school child dancing down the alps singing! What an inspirational twist.
