Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:

   • Start by peeling the potatoes. Then, grate them finely using a box grater or food processor. Once grated, transfer the potatoes to a colander placed over a bowl to catch any excess moisture.

2. Season the Potatoes:

   • Sprinkle the grated potatoes with salt to help draw out the moisture. For an even better result, you can squeeze out the liquid by pressing the potatoes with your hands, being careful not to break them up too much. Once the excess moisture has been removed, transfer the potatoes into a clean bowl.

3. Flavor the Mixture:

   • Finely chop the fresh rosemary and add it to the bowl of potatoes. Stir in the extra virgin olive oil, and season with black pepper to taste.

4. Form the Rosti:

   • If you have a hamburger mold, use it to shape the potato mixture into round patties. Alternatively, you can shape the patties by hand using a simple circular cookie cutter. Press down gently with the back of a spoon to compact the potatoes into the desired shape.

5. Cook the Rosti:

   • Heat a little olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, place a few rosti at a time into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the rosti for 8-10 minutes, turning them halfway through using a spatula, until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:

   • Once cooked, remove the rosti from the skillet and serve immediately while hot and crispy.

This Light Rosti is a fantastic side dish that pairs beautifully with everything from a simple salad to more elaborate main courses. It’s a healthier take on a traditional favorite, making it perfect for anyone seeking a lighter yet indulgent option. Enjoy!
