Swiss Cheese Rösti
Ingredients
  • 6 large potatoes
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 8 ounces Swiss cheese, grated
  • salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
Instructions
1
Boil a substantial container of salted water until it reaches a rolling boil.
2
Add diced potatoes to the boiling water and continue cooking until they are tender but still retain some firmness, approximately 15 minutes.
3
Remove the potatoes from the boiling water with a slotted spoon and let them cool down.
4
Once cooled, use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the potatoes and then grate them into long, thin strips.
5
In a large nonstick frying pan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
6
Add a layer of grated potatoes and a layer of shredded cheese, then sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
7
Repeat the layers by adding another layer of potatoes and cheese, followed by a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
8
Dot each layer with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter, making sure to cover every surface evenly.
9
Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of hot water over the top layer, cover the pan with a lid, and cook over low to medium heat until the bottom layer is golden brown.
10
Carefully flip the potato cake with a spatula and cook the other side until it is also golden brown.
