three cheese potato rosti

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. red potatoes
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 6 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme
  • 1 cup requeijao substitute for cream cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella shredded
  • 1/2 cup provolone cheese shredded
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • The day before, cook the potatoes, with skin, in a pot of salted boiling water for 10 minutes or until tender (but not falling apart).
  • Let the potatoes cool and chill them overnight.
  • The next day, peel and coarsely grate the potatoes. Season with salt, pepper and the fresh thyme.
  • In a different bowl, combine the cheese and stir well. Reserve.
  • Heat 1 Tablespoon of butter and 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a medium sized sauté pan, over medium heat.
  • Add half of the grated potato, spreading it out evenly to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Allow to cook for about 4 minutes, or until the sides start to turn golden, while shaping it into a flat cake, pressing down lightly.
  • Pour all the cheese filling into the potato pancake, leaving a small edge all around.
  • Then, spread out the remaining potato on top of the cheese, pressing it down and around as you go, covering all the cheese.
  • Continue to cook for 5 more minutes. When the edges of the bottom potato cake are golden, gently shake the pan to loosen the Rösti. Then, flip it with the aid of a plate that is larger than the sauté pan.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of butter and some olive oil and, when hot, slide the Rösti back into the pan, uncooked side down.
  • Let it cook for 5 to 7 more minutes or until the bottom is golden brown, adding more olive oil if necessary.
  • Remove to a plate covered with paper towel to soak the excess grease.
  • Let it stand for 5 minutes before serving!
  • Make sure you use a good nonstick and enough olive oil so your rosti potatoes don’t stick to the bottom.
