Anna’s Tips for crispy potato rosti
- Rinse the grated potatoes and let them drain – this will remove the starch. This reduces the calories and makes the potato rosti crispier.
- Then squeeze out the excess liquid. Don’t skip this process, as this is the main reason the potato rosti will be crispier.
- Add more oil to make them crispier. If you use 2 medium potatoes, 3 tablespoons of oil will be enough.
- Don’t cover the pan, otherwise, the water can’t be evaporated. The potato rosti won’t get crispy.
INGREDIENTS:
2 medium potatoes
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
3 tbsp oil
2 tortillas

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:
