Potato Rosti with Fried Egg

Potato Rosti with Fried Egg. A delicious, crispy shredded potato dish that is popular in Switzerland. Great as a side dish or meal.

Today I’m sharing a tasty way to cook potatoes all the way from Switzerland! This very popular dish is fairly simple to make and yields a very filling dish. Topped off with fried egg, sour cream or ketchup with my own twist - avocado! Perfect for lunch or dinner.

Whenever we visit Switzerland, potato rosti is something we must have. The Swiss always do a better job of it and it's never the same here in Canada for some reason!

I love potato rosti and eggs because it's so versatile. You can pair it with a salad, cooked veggies or meat and it's so filling. That's why I love potatoes so much. They work well with so many foods!

What's in a potato rosti?

It's essentially just grated potatoes with a flour agent to make the potatoes stick and some salt. The potato pancake is then fried in a well oiled cast iron pan to make it extra crispy and delicious!

Can I freeze potato rosti?

You can but make sure to freeze it in a air tight container to avoid freezer burn. When you re-cook it, allow it to fully thaw before cooking or you will have an uncooked center.

How to make a potato rosti with egg

1. In a food processor, process your peeled potatoes and onion until they’re grated. You may also grate using a box grater but it will take longer.
2. Pour grated potatoes and onions into a clean tea towel and wring out the liquids until mostly dry. Pour into a large mixing bowl and add salt, black pepper, dried parsley, and garlic powder and mix well. Flatter your batter and divide equally into four portions.
3. Into a non-stick pan over medium high heat, add avocado oil. Once hot enough, add your portioned batter to the pan and flatten with a spatula. Fry until crispy golden brown and cover with a lid to quicken cooking process, usually about 7-8 minutes. Flip and fry on the other side.
4. Meanwhile, fry your eggs sunny side up and slice your avocado. Serve over top of hot rosti with vegan sour cream or ketchup. Enjoy!
