    I personally didn't have gold yukons or russet potatoes on me, so I tried making rösti with baby red potatoes. I used the process of shredding, clumping the mass together and running it under water for just a second (they aren't very starchy but it kind of helped reduce the moisture after squeezing), then following the process until the bottom of the cake was almost done. I then put some salt, pepper, and a little balsamic vinegar to glaze the uncooked layer, baking it in before flipping and searing the top. I'm not sure of their starch content, but after serving and mixing sour cream into it, I had a pretty tasty potato shred clump – would recommend.

    With 3.
    What would happen if you sprinkled some cornstarch into the pan before you added the potato and added some to the bottom before you flipped.
    This should add the starch back to give the golden outside like in Rosti 2, but with the fluffy inside much like a hashbrown.

    Cool. Ukraine also has this dish (probably in every country where potatoes grow). We use a fine grater and can add an egg and bake it so that it does not burn, use sunflower oil and not butter))

    I don't really care if someone dispronounce German worden, but this time you butchered it.
    The ö in Rösti is pronounced like the e in twerk. And the st is pronounced separately (the s doesn't make a sh sound).
    How you said it: Rü sti
    Vs. How it's ment to: Rös ti

    i know, its a bit late, but at the beginning you say "everyone of us should eat more potato skin because its the most nutritious part"
    thats kinda wrong… because its the most TOXIC part, which may not affect you, if you just eat a bit of it, and not very often… but for kids, low-weight persons, or elderly – it may become very unhealthy.
    much respect for most of your vids, but its the one sentence that is just plain wrong and dangerous

    Yay! Thank you for making this video! My son loves hash browns, but neither of us are any good at making them from scratch. We usually end up with a pile of loose shreds that are unsatisfactorily crispy. I am going to make him a Swiss potato cake for dinner tonight. Though I think I will make a MUCH smaller cake as it is just the two of us. 😊
    Update: our rosti came out great! We made a large one to bring to a potluck and it disappeared so quickly that my son wasn't able to go back for seconds!😓😏 We will be making it again soon!

    Made this just now, really bland, but honestly, I think more salt and better fat than the oil I used should have cooked longer for more browning. Welp can only improve from here
