Ingredients
Scale
- 3 pounds red potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 cup soft cheese spread
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the unpeeled potatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes, just until they begin to soften but still hold their shape. Drain well, let cool, and refrigerate overnight so they firm up.
- Peel the chilled potatoes and grate them using the large holes of a grater. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the soft cheese spread, mozzarella, provolone, cheddar, and parmesan. Mix until smooth and uniform.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add half the grated potatoes, pressing gently to create an even, compact layer. Cook for about 4 minutes, or until the edges begin to turn golden.
- Spoon all of the cheese mixture over the potato base, keeping a small border around the edges. Add the remaining potatoes on top, pressing lightly to enclose the filling. Cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the bottom to crisp. When the edges loosen, give the pan a gentle shake.
- Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip the rosti onto it. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter and a small amount of olive oil to the pan, then slide the rosti back in. Cook for 5–7 minutes, or until the second side turns crisp and golden.
- Transfer the rosti to a paper towel–lined plate to absorb excess oil. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the cheese can settle. Serve warm for the best melty center.
Notes
- Use firm potatoes for best results.
- Let the rosti rest for better slicing.
- Experiment with different cheeses if desired.
