Rosti potatoes are thick, skillet-fried hash browns that can be filled with whatever you’d like. The dish is a perfect side for all sorts of roasts, steaks, and schnitzel. Starting the rosti potatoes on the stovetop and finishing them in the Anova Precision Oven ensures that they’re tender in the center and ultra-crisp on the exterior. Notes: Make sure to use either Yukon Gold or russet potatoes for this dish; their starch contents are great for both baking and frying. Don’t skimp on the clarified butter when forming the potato disc during the skillet fry. The butter is what creates the crispy, crunchy shell. The added potato starch helps to bind everything together; don’t skip it.

4. Start Rosti

Heat a ladleful of butter in an 8- to 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the potato mixture and press it into a disc with a rubber spatula. Top with the ham, if using, followed by the remaining potatoes. Use the spatula to press down and form the sides into a disc. Continue to cook until the bottom is golden brown, adding additional butter if needed.

5. Flip

When the bottom is golden brown, remove from the heat. Flip the rosti by placing a plate on top of the skillet and flip to remove. Carefully slide the flipped rosti back into the skillet. Generously ladle more butter into the skillet and return to medium heat. Continue to cook until golden brown on the second side. Remove from the heat.
