5
Shape the Rösti: Add the grated potatoes to the pan. Press it down into a flat, round shape.

Cook first side Cook for about 10 minutes until golden and crispy underneath. Flip Place a plate over the pan, flip the Rösti onto it, then slide it back into the pan. Cook second side Cook another 5–10 minutes until crispy. Now just serve immediately when off the pan.
Notes
This is one large Rösti so it should be about 3 servings. Don’t stir while cooking because this helps form a crispy crust. Use enough butter for better flavor and crispiness. For best results, use slightly pre-cooked (boiled) potatoes and let them cool before grating.
