Rosti Dauphinoise Food

ROSTI

Steps:

• Place potatoes in large pot of cold water to cover and add 4 tablespoons of salt to pot. Slowly bring to a boil and then reduce the heat and simmer until tender. Drain and let cool. Refrigerate potatoes overnight.
• The following day, peel potatoes and grate into a bowl. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper and set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of clarified butter in a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter and melt. Add leeks and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Add crumbled bacon and set aside.
• For the first Rosti:
• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Add half of the remaining clarified butter and unsalted butter to a small or medium non-stick saute pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add 1/4 of the potatoes and 1/2 the leeks and spread evenly over the top. Cover evenly with 1/4 more of the potatoes. Brown the potatoes for about 5 minutes and then place a plate over the top. Flip the potatoes over, and slide them back into the pan. Brown for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle 1/2 of the Gruyere over the top and melt. Remove from the pan and place in the oven to keep warm.
• For the second Rosti:
• Add remaining clarified butter and unsalted butter to the saute pan. Repeat the process with the remaining potatoes, leeks, and Gruyere. Serve immediately.

ROSTI

Steps:

• Wash potatoes and leave skin on. In a large food processor, fitted with the shredding disk, shred the potatoes. Over a sink or bowl squeeze the water out of the shredded potatoes, making sure to get as much liquid out as possible.
• Transfer to a large bowl, add chives, salt, pepper, eggs and flour. Mix well. In a small nonstick skillet heat 1 tablespoon of butter and oil over moderate heat until foam subsides. Add potato mixture to the skillet. Flatten to make an even layer. Cook the potato cake over moderate heat, turning once and adding another tablespoon of butter. Cook until golden and crisp, about 7 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel.

ROSTI POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Shred potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap potatoes in a clean kitchen towel; squeeze out liquid. Place in a medium bowl; toss with salt and pepper.
• Heat half the butter in a 9- or 10-inch ovenproof nonstick saute pan over medium-low heat. Spread potatoes in pan evenly; press down with a spatula to flatten cake. Cook until bottom is golden and turning crisp, about 18 minutes.
• Remove pan from heat. Invert cake onto a plate; slide back into pan. Return to heat, and spoon remaining butter around edges of pan. Cook until other side begins to get crisp, about 10 minutes, shaking pan several times to loosen.
• Transfer to oven until cooked through and tender in the center, about 12 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve.
