Rosti or Roschti - a Swish dish

We have been singing the 7 continents song at home. Prior to that, we have been playing games on spotting the right countries on map. Geography should not be dry subject. I remember I had to memorize and memorize to pass my geography subject in school and I don't like it. I believe every subject can be lively and fun. This week, we look into Switzerland. One of the favorite dish for kids is Rosti. 

Ingredients:

Russet potatoes (3 big size for 4 pax)

Butter (unsalted)

Method:

1. Place potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

2. Cover it with lid and place on a stove with 'hi' heat.

3. Let it boil for 10 minutes and turn off the stove.

4. Remove the potatoes and leave it to cool.

5. Place the potatoes in the fridge for about an hour until it's cold.

6. Remove the potatoes from the fridge. Peel and grated them into strips. Grated it when they are still cold. 

7. Melt the butter in the frying pan.

8. Place a handful of grated potatoes onto the melted butter. Flatten it to shape.

9. Pan fried one side until it's slightly brown before you turn to the other side. 

10. Served once both side are slightly brown. 

Making this dish required patience. The fire on the stove can not be too hot. If it's too hot, it will burn the grated potatoes. The butter can not be too generous too. It will become too 'buttery' if we place too much butter on the frying pan.
