This dish uses smoked salmon in a tasty and authentic way. In Switzerland the term rösti means crisp and golden, and is considered the national dish of German Switzerland.
Ingredients
- 2 medium-size waxy potatoes, such as Nadine or Desirée, unpeeled
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 15g butter
- 4 tbsp half-fat crème fraîche
- 4 slices smoked salmon
Method
- Put the potatoes in a pan of cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Parboil for 5 minutes, drain and set aside to cool slightly. Remove the peel with your fingers and coarsely grate the potatoes into a bowl. Season, mix, then roughly form into 2 large röstis with ragged edges.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the röstis and cook for 2-3 minutes each side, or until cooked through, golden and crisp around the edges. Transfer each to a serving plate.
- Top each rösti with 2 tablespoons of crème fraîche and 2 slices of smoked salmon.
- Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
