Rosti (Fry Grated Potato)

This is probably not the original Swiss way (not sure how to cook it), but this way works.  Good for snack, or with some sausage as a meal.

Ingredients

1. 2-3 large potato
2. 2 tablespoon cooking oil (or butter)
3. ½ teaspoon salt
4. dash of pepper

Method

1. Peel potato, and cut them into thin strips 1-3 mm, or grate it. Wash to get rid of some starch and drain dry. Mix in the salt and pepper.
2. Heat up a flat frying pan (non stick better), put in cooking oil, and add in the potato strips.  Flatten it into a pan cake.
3. Cover with lid and cook with low heat for 10 mins (to cook the potato)
4. Open cover and up the heat to medium and fry till golden crust is form at the bottom.
5. Optional, you can also brown the other side by flipping it over, which is a bit challenging.
6. Serve on plate with the crust side up.
7. Serve with ketchup.
