Appenzoller Rosti Pan Fried Potatoes With Bacon Recipes

APPENZOLLER ROSTI (PAN-FRIED POTATOES WITH BACON)

Steps:

• Cook the unpeeled potatoes in boiling salted water until just tender. Drain, cool, and refrigerate overnight (or for several hours). Peel and grate the potatoes on a coarse grater. Season the potato shreds with salt and pepper.
• Fry the bacon in a large heavy skillet until the fat renders. If needed, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Add the potatoes, and mix to combine with the bacon. Gently press the mixture into the pan to form a cake.
• Cook for 20 minutes over medium heat until the bottom is golden and crusty. Invert a plate over the pan, and turn out the rosti.
• Add a little more oil to the pan, and slide the rosti back in, cooked side up. Cook until the other side is golden, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with the grated cheese, cover, and let sit for about 2 minutes, until the cheese is melted.

CRISPY POTATO ROSTI

Steps:

• Peel then grate the potatoes using a box grater, trying to get nice long strands if you can.
• Grab handfuls of potato and squeeze out excess liquid, then place in bowl. This helps make the potato crispier (otherwise all that water has to steam out in the pan).
• Add butter, salt and pepper then toss. Don't worry if your potatoes go brown/reddy - it's still safe to eat, and turns white again when cooked.
• Melt half the clarified butter in a 26cm / 10.5" (or thereabouts) non-stick pan or skillet over medium low heat. Shallow non-stick pan with sloped sides is best for easy rosti removal.
• Place the potato in pan, but do not pack down. Use rubber spatula to tidy the edges, then lightly pat down to even surface.
• Cook first side: Cook 12 minutes until underside is very golden and crispy, lifting edge with rubber spatula to check. If by 8 minutes it is not going golden, increase heat.
• TIP: Insurance policy - If you didn't use a non stick pan, slide the rubber spatular underneath all the way to the middle and run it around, to be 100% sure nothing is stuck before attempting flip.
• Flip: Cover pan with a round wooden board with a handle (or anything similar with a handle, Note 3). Holding the handle of the board, flip quickly - and with confidence!
• Cook second side: Melt remaining clarified butter in the pan, then slide the rosti back in and cook for 12 minutes until golden crispy, and there is no resistance when a knife is inserted into the middle.
• Slide onto cutting board, cut into 4 or 6 wedges and serve immediately!
• Use 25g / 1 1/2 tbsp clarified butter for each batch, medium heat in a non stick pan. Place potato in rounds in a skillet, around 8cm / 3" wide, 1.5 - 2cm / 2/3" thick (without patting down). Cook 5 minutes until deep golden and crispy, flip, and cook another 5 minutes until done.
• Transfer to rack set over tray in a 120°C/250°F oven until ready to serve.
