Chris Makes Potato Rosti | From the Home Kitchen | Bon Appétit

Join Chris Morocco in his home kitchen as he makes potato rosti. Shredding and squeezing out potatoes, just like when making latkes, helps create a supremely crisp rosti that serves as a base for eggs and dressed greens. An oven finish means there’s no flipping required, keeping this dish nice and simple.

Over the years I've made rosti, potato pancakes or latkes and never had a bad one. I've used different kinds of potatoes, added eggs, onions, cheese. I've rinsed the potatoes well or not at all, dried them thoroughly (using a towel or a salad spinner), or not. I've used butter, cooking oil, ghee, clarified butter. I've used the oven to make them crispier.

But I've never added fried eggs on top. Wonderful idea! I'll try it next time. Thanks for the post.

I love when you wear the black sweatshirt with your apron. You look like a monk, just adds to the entertaining mystique.

Swiss tip: You can also grate some cheese on it, add bacon, etc... add Rösti in your burger (just on top of the patty) if you feel like it, etc... the fatter, the better. And the salade is optional...

I vote "Unequivocal Yum" should be added to the modern language dictionary by Chris Morocco! I am 68 and I'm foggy on how to do such a thing but I'll certainly support it.

This video has been up less than 5 weeks, i've made this recipe like 4 times already. It's perfection.

"That is an unequivocal yum."

Something I'm gonna start saying at random objects

Swiss here: this looks pretty good, we would usually take the skin off the potato though and first cook it for 5mins while stirring before you shape it into the 'pancake'. And then you can also sautee onions or bacon in the pan first before adding the grated potatos. I also love adding some gruyere into it and tend to eat the end product with ketchup&hot sauce (not very Swiss but I've lived in the US for a while lol). I was disappointed you didn't even mention this was a Swiss dish though and if I was learning about a new dish I would personally want to know a little bit about it.

While this is an awesome recipe... the crisp of the Rosti (Röschti as its called in Switzerland)really gives it a good umpf and i highly recommend flipping it rather than baking it. Its a bit tricky but much better and worth it.
Its a dish that we love eating in the Alps, especially when skiing and it is simply an absolute classic in swiss cuisine.

omg when he said 5:10 "when you grate the garlic, you really RELEASE THE BEAST" BIMINI BIMINI

[RewanHelvetius]

i like your take on Röschti. but not flipping it for a two sided rost would get me in deep trouble and i could not imagine the looks i would get serving it :D again no hate just saying ^^

Chris: "I hate having no one to eat with."

The camera and sound guy: Are we a joke to you?

so fun to see swiss dishes represented!

[WatermelonPandax]

a swiss person passed away everytime you said rosti chris :'( you guys could've written it with an ö in the title WERE NOT ASKING FOR MUCH HERE

[UnaChefenlaCocina]

A great and very crunchy idea and those eggs on top topping the potatoes is a real delight thank you very much for sharing

[ryerye]

So the idea behind rösti is that it's eaten the day after raclette (that huge wheel of cheese), with leftover potatoes. The rule is you have to boil the potatoes the day before!! That's the history behind the dish and how it came about. Then.. it's served other way round, crispy side up, and then toppings added. Usually if egg it would be finished off in oven or something. I'm vegan I eat it with mushrooms :)

YEES I never expected to see a video about Rosti (or Röschti as we call it here) 😍

[christophhaldimann]

Swiss here, this is not how Rösti is done. It's actually very simple, all you do is take the leftover potatoes, which where boiled, and grate them into the pan, after some time, maybe 10mins, put a plate in top of the pan and turn it, so you can flipp over. Put the side which was done facing up. Continue for another 10mins to have the perfect crisp.

I make rosti often and today I followed your recipe for brunch with my wife this morning. Not flipping makes a really great textural difference and the baked eggs are awesome. Served with bacon and all is well in the world.

[starlight]

As a single person that lives alone yes it honestly freaking sucks not to cook for someone and talk about it. Thank goodness I teach culinary at the high school level

[lelion]

In Switzerland, you do boil the potatoes first.
And we also call it Röschti - pronounced slightly different than the American way.
Anyways, now I'm hungry...
