Rosti (Rösti)in Zürich, an essential accompaniment to many meals apart from geschnetzeltes. They go very well with other forms of schnitzel, also eggs and bacon. In fact any time you would use fried potatoes, this is a way of elevating the meal to a more luxurious level. Rösti is the traditional accompaniment to Zürcher Geschnetzeltes. But it is also a great way to cook potatoes for all sorts of other occasions. They are similar to hash browns, but not the same.
Important - start the day before you want to use them, by boiling the potatoes.
 Don't peel them, and don't cook too long, they should still be firm. Keep in the refrigerator overnight until ready to prepare. Peel and grate the potatoes and mix in some salt and finely chopped onion. Heat plenty of butter and oil (the traditional method uses lard) in a frying pan or skillet. Add the potatoes, but don't compress them yet, and cook on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes, turn over and cook the other side for the same amount of time. Now reduce the heat as low as it will go, press down, and leave until ready to serve, that is, while you are cooking the Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, or other delight. Turn out onto a warm serving dish in one piece. There should be a golden brown crust. Serve with Zürcher Geschnetzeltes or for breakfast with eggs and ham - delicious! IN THIS SECTION -
