This is a classic Swiss recipe for a potato side dish that's prepared and served much as we in the United States would serve hash brown potatoes.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large baking potatoes (such as russet)
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp minced onion
2 clove garlic, crushed
1 c grated gruyère cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel potatoes and then grate. Press potatoes between several thickness of paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • 2. Heat oil in large skillet over moderately high heat but not smoking, and sauté onion for 2 minutes. Add half of the grated potatoes, and spread to make a thin layer, and press down on potato layer with a spatula. Sprinkle onion and garlic over potatoes. Reduce heat to moderate and sprinkle the Gruyère over the potatoes. Spread remaining grated potatoes on top, pressing down again with spatula. Cook until golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes on each side. Season potatoes with salt and pepper.
  • 3. Cut into individual portions, and serve hot.
