Ingredients:

Method:
- Cook the potatoes in their skins in boiling water for 10 minutes.
- Drain and leave them to cool. When they are cold, peel them and grate the flesh coarsely into a bowl.
- Mix with salt and pepper to taste.
- Melt half the butter in a large, heavy frying pan and when it is sizzling add the potatoes, smoothing the top down lightly.
- Fry over moderate heat, loosening the base occasionally with a wooden spatula to prevent sticking.
- After about 10 minutes, press the potatoes down with the spatula to form a cake. Invert a plate over the frying pan and turn the rosti out on to it.
- Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Slide the rosti back into the frying pan and cook the other side, shaking the pan occasionally, for a further 10 to 15 minutes or until the underside is golden and crisp.
- Turn the rosti out on to a warmed plate and serve at once.
