Who doesn’t love potatoes? I could eat them all the time, I just have to be careful to not overeat them, with so many delicious potato dishes it’s just hard to stop because it just tastes so good. These potato rosti or Rösti, also called Kartoffelpuffer or Reibekuchen in Germany, are a traditional dish in Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Often they are being made with eggs, so after going egg free I started experimenting and quickly came up with this simple recipe, only buckwheat and water are used to bind everything together. The most difficult part is grating the potatoes, but only if you’re not using a mechanical or electrical grating tool, I use my magimix for this recipe, I use the big 4 mm hole grating disk (R/G4), it only takes seconds to grate the potatoes. Using a simple grater will take much longer and will exceed the indicated time in the recipe.

Maybe not the healthiest dish, contains a lot of fat and no other veggies than potatoes, but it is a lot healthier than any fast-food meal and sometimes you just have to satisfy your cravings. By making a home cooked meal you have the full control over what you put in there and you can also choose oils that are more healthy.
