Pan Sized Potato Fritter Recipe

Larisa Iernutan
The pan sized potato fritter recipe is a Rosti potato pie recipe, and its preparation is much easier than Shepherd's pie, for example,because it requires very few ingredients, and you cook it in a pan, on the stove.
Some might consider that this Rosti pan sized potato fritter recipe is rather a cheesy smashed potatoes recipe, but no matter what we choose to call it, it is a simple, tasty and healthy recipe.

Equipment

  • 1 Pan with lid
  • 1 Vegetable Grater
  • 1 Bowl
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Plate

Ingredients
 
 

  • 1.5 kg potatoes
  • 4 pcs eggs
  • 200 g cheese
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Vegetables oil for greasing the pan

Instructions
 

  • The first step is to rinse the potatoes and boil them (with skin!) for 10-12 MINUTES in a large pot filled with water and ½ tsp salt
  • Don’t overcook the potatoes. Poke the surface of the potatoes with a fork. If it can pierce the potatoes, it means they are cooked enough

  • Leave the potatoes to cool down at least 3 hours before cooking the Rosti potato fritter recipe; I boiled the potatoes in the morning and used them in the afternoon
  • Once cooled, peel the potatoes and grate them using a vegetable grater
  • If you are using hard cheese, grate the cheese too
  • Now, using a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes with the eggs, the grates cheese and add salt and black pepper;
    TIP: If you love garlic, you can also add garlic powder or 2 crushed garlic cloves
  • Mix well, using a spatula or a wooden spoon
  • Pour 2 tbsp vegetables oil into the heated pan
  • Add the Rosti composition into the pan and give it a pie shape. Use a spoon to evenly level the surface of the pie/ fritter
  • Cook the old fashioned potato pie recipe with the lid on top of the pan
  • Using a round tray or large plate, turn the potato Rosti from one side to the other and place it in the pan, with the uncooked side down, to cook on both sides
  • Leave the pan sized potato fritter to cool for at least 10-15 minutes before serving it
