Smoked Salmon Honey Rösti
Rösti is very similar to hash browns - but better! It is an anytime-of-day meal, so you can top this with smoked salmon, créme fraîche, honey and chives and it's socially acceptable!
Equipment
- pot
- food processor with grater attachment, or a cheese grater
- 8 inch nonstick pan, I'm using All-Clad
Ingredients
- 1½-2 lb yukon gold potatoes adjust amount for your desired thickness
- 1 pinch salt
- ¼ cup clarified butter melted, divided
- 3 tbsp olive oil divided
- 8 oz hot honey smoked salmon I used Ducktrap, cut to desired size
- creme fraîche to taste
- honey to taste
- chives chopped, to taste
- crushed red peppers to taste
Instructions
- Parboil whole gold potatoes for about 10 minutes, until a knife slides in easily but with some resistance still. Chill.
- Grate the potatoes in a food processor with a grater attachment (or by hand). Season with a large pinch of salt and gently toss to combine.
- Preheat a nonstick pan on medium-high for 3 minutes. Add 2 tbsp of clarified butter and 1 tbsp oil. Lower heat to medium and press in the potatoes to form a round cake.
- Using a spatula, shape the edges so they are nice and rounded, add a few spoonfuls of the clarified butter to the sides as it cooks. See the video if needed. Cook for 12-16 minutes, until the bottom super golden but not burnt.
- Place a cutting board over the pan and flip the potatoes onto it. Add the rest of clarified butter and oil to the pan and slide in the potatoes back in. Cook for another 12-16 minutes, until super golden.
- Transfer to a serving plate and cut into even, pie shaped wedges. Top each slice with a nicely folding piece of the smoked salmon. Add a dollop of creme fraîche, drizzle with honey, and sprinkle with crushed red peppers and chives.
Notes
Parboiling the potatoes and chilling for a couple hours or overnight will yield a crispier result and better/fluffier texture inside. If you do decide to skip this step, make sure you at least soak the grated potatoes in salted cold water & then squeeze out as much of the water as you can.
