Critical Success Points

  • Squeezing out excess moisture from the grated potatoes
  • Forming a compact rosti shape with the fish slice
  • Flipping the rosti without breaking it
  • Using clarified butter to avoid burnt milk solids

Safety Warnings

  • Butter and oil are extremely hot; handle with care to avoid burns.
  • When flipping, keep the pan handle away from the edge and use oven mitts.
  • Clarified butter can splatter; keep a lid nearby.
