How tasty! Potato and carrot rösti, a dish you'll make in no time and that you will undoubtedly enjoy at any lunch or dinner. Are you up for preparing this recipe by Lola, author of Loleta?
I bring you one of my favorite dishes when I travel to Switzerland or Germany, the rösti. It's a very popular potato dish, which was traditionally served at breakfast but today has become a fantastic side for meats and vegetable dishes. I also love having it as a main course, accompanied by a bit of salad or eggs.
Although rösti is almost always made with potatoes, I preferred to also use carrots because that's how I like it best. And I served it with an egg to complete the dish.
You can make it large, the size of the pan, but I love making them small, in a more individual format. I make it in the Le Creuset cast-iron pan, because iron reaches the perfect temperature to get that crispy touch, and it also works to bring it straight to the table because it's very pretty!
Bra Efficient Orange deep non-stick casserole, Le Creuset utensil jar, Le Crseuset salt and pepper mills, stainless steel Bra oil dispenser and Le Creuset cast-iron pan with wooden handle
Ingredients
- 2 potatoes
- 3 carrots
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Olive oil or butter
- ½ shallot
- 3 eggs (optional)
Preparation
- In a Shallow Casserole Efficient Bra fill with water halfway. When the water is boiling, add the potatoes and carrots and let cook for only 5 minutes. After this time, remove and cool in plenty of cold water.
- Peel the potatoes and carrots. With the help of the KitchenAid food processor, slice the carrots and potatoes into julienne. Put them on a plate and add the flour and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the finely chopped shallot and mix well.
- Form patties about 8 cm in diameter.
- Heat the oil or butter in our Le Creuset cast-iron pan and wait until it's hot. Add our patties (one or two at a time) and let cook for 3 minutes on one side before flipping them (they should be golden and crispy).
- Fry some eggs in a pan (they turn out great in De Buyer iron pans, especially if you like them with lacy edges!). This step is optional.
- Serve accompanied by a bit of quark cheese sprinkled with parsley, smoked salmon or the fried eggs … or a bit of everything!

Receta tuneada. Como no he conseguido hacer las tortitas he añadido toda la masa junta a la sartén. Me ha salido como si fuera una tortilla de patata. ¡muy contenta con la receta! :-)

Cuánta razón, Eva, no estaba especificado! No deben usarse para hacer las tortitas de patata y zanahoria, sino que están allí para preparar unos huevos y servirlos aparte. Gracias a tu duda hemos modificado ya el texto de la receta para dejarlo más claro. Disculpa la confusión! Saludos!

Muchas gracias por la receta. Una pregunta: los tres huevos que aparecen en los ingredientes son para feirlos de acompañamiento o hay que incorporarlos en la mezcla de zanahorias, patatas,…en algún momento? No ví ese detalle en el apartado de elaboración.
Gracias de nuevo!
