I ate several pounds of salty beefy brisket during Labor Day weekend, and I shot this the day after. It's wild to see how slopdog I look just from eating half a cow. My puffy cheeks are casting a whole new shadow and it looks like someone rubbed tallow over every inch of my skin.
A rösti is pretty much just a hash brown, so I expect this distinction to spark some discussion. I would say the defining characteristic, though, is the large size and singular round shape from being made whole in the pan.
I had to fight all day yesterday with the "sponsor" again regarding the phrase "paid to be mentioned". These people live in a fantasy world.
8 inch pans are my favorite sized pans.
I don't bother with that potato skin seasoning method, since it's so much easier to simply apply a thin film of oil and blast it over high heat, like a wok.
The spice blend I use was apparently made for steak, but I've gone through half of it just for potato dishes. I can't really think that flowery blend would pair too well with red meat, but I'll probably run out of it before I get a chance to try it.
Oil is a conduit for heat, not just a fatty shortcut to flavor. Try deep-frying a steak cooked sous vide and you'll know what I mean.
I say that you can flip the rösti using the two-plate method, but that makes two extra dishes dirty and still runs the risk of flinging oil everywhere. Try flipping stuff right in the pan! It's good practice and even if everything breaks apart, it'll still be good.

Rösti - The Most Versatile Brunch Food

It's looks pretty elegant since it can be served whole or sliced into triangles, and due to its thickness, you get extreme crunch plus a creamy tater interior. They take a long time to cook, so they're a perfect contender for a slow weekend brunch.
