How it's done

Cook the potatoes the day before

Cook the potatoes (uncovered) in boiling water over a medium heat for approx. 25 mins. until just soft. Drain the potatoes, leave to cool, cover and keep in the fridge.

Rösti

Peel the potatoes the day before, grate coarsely using a rösti grater, season with salt, mix. Heat the clarified butter in a non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes, fry for approx. 5 mins., turning occasionally. Shape the rösti into a cake. Continue to cook the rösti over a medium heat for approx. 15 mins. until a golden crust forms. Place a large, flat plate over the pan. Tip the rösti out onto the plate. Add a little clarified butter to the pan, slide the rösti back into the pan with the uncooked side facing down, cook for a further 15 mins.
