Swiss Potato Rösti

with a dollop of sour cream & buttered cinnamon apple compote

2 lb Whole Potatoes, peeled

¾ lb Butter, melted

¼ cup Chives, minced

Sea Salt, as needed

Black Pepper, coarse ground, as needed

1 cup Sour Cream or Crème Fraiche

Cinnamon-Apple Compote:

3 ea Red Apples, peeled, cored, and diced

4 oz. Butter

1 tabl Brown Sugar

1 teas. Cinnamon

1 teas. Vanilla Extract

Method:

Shred whole peeled potatoes on a box grater; squeeze out excess liquid on the potatoes and place in a mixing bowl. Add melted butter, minced chives, salt & pepper and stir to combine. Preheat a non-stick 8” skillet that has been lightly buttered as well and press potatoes into the pan until full and level. Sauté on medium heat on the stove to lightly brown the bottom of the potatoes.

Place the whole pan in 350° oven for approximately 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and carefully invert pan onto serving plate to unmold. The Rösti can be cut into wedges or served whole at the table.

Apple Compote: melted butter in a small skillet; add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla and stew over low heat for approximately 10 minutes stirring constantly until softened and lightly browned

Dollop sour cream on top of Rösti and garnish with additional chives. Serve apple compote on the side.

Happy Thanksgiving!!
