Cheap, simple and very popular with children
Potato pancake

It is a great classic of Swiss cuisine, a simple and economical dish. Perfect for an evening meal (kids love it) to serve with a green salad or grated carrots or to accompany meat at lunchtime.

INGREDIENTS (for 4 people):

  • 4 floury potatoes (agria or bintje)
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 onion
  • 2 pinches of salt and pepper

THE RECIPE

  • Peel the potatoes and grate them. Squeeze the potatoes between your hands to remove as much juice as possible
  • Peel the onion and slice it finely
  • Mix the potatoes, onions and add the eggs andflour to give them more consistency. Season with salt and pepper
  • Heat a little oil in a large frying pan
  • Using a large spoon, arrange several piles in the pan. Flatten them to make a patty
  • Turn the patties over several times to cook evenly
  • When golden brown and colourful (but soft in the centre), place them on a paper towel and serve with a green salad

TRICKS:

1 – You can add small bacon to the preparation. Or chopped parsley
2 – Prepare them in advance. You can reheat them in a pan at the last minute (not in the microwave, they will become all soft)
3 – A Rôsti (or roesti) on horseback: for a more complete dish, serve them with a fried egg placed on top
4 – Choose organic potatoes
5 – Some recipes recommend pre-cooking the potatoes (they must be firm to the core)
