Helge's Rösti

Felice

Rösti made with only raw potatoes and a bit of nutmeg. I learned this from a German chef from Hamburg (Helge) who said he always adds nutmeg to potato dishes no matter what! These are usually served with a kind of apple sauce/apple compote (apfelmus) and or yogurt for breakfast.

I recommend making small sized rösti because they can be hard to flip since they don't have any egg or flour to help hold them together. If cooking in a smaller frying pan, give yourself a good 30 minutes to cook all the rösti - the raw potatoes can take some time to cook through.

I make this lots of times (in fact, last night's dinner with grilled pork chops). In the States they sell bags of the potatoes already shredded or grated in the market (near the eggs). However, the nutmeg is what I must try with some apple compote!
