The ProCook Paella Pan

With its origins in Switzerland, rösti’s were originally a breakfast dish made from finely shredded potato and fried until crispy. Traditionally they would accompany other breakfast dishes such as spinach and fried eggs, but are now enjoyed across the globe for a variety of courses. Many versions you could encounter in restaurants today contain red onion, crumbled sausage or even maple smoked bacon but to stay true to the rösti there should be no additional ingredients beyond the potato and fat to bind it.

With delicious garlic, paprika and sweet potato flavours found in the rösti itself and both runny fried eggs AND roasted tomatoes on the top, this is a recipe we’re happy to indulge in – even if it does break tradition!

The two things that will make or break this recipe is the sufficient removal of liquid, and using the right pan to bake it in. It’s really important that you try and remove as much liquid and starch as possible from the potatoes for the best chances of that beautiful, crispy bite to your rösti otherwise you’ll end up with a stodgy, dense potato pancake. Don’t skip corners here, we urge you to use as much elbow grease as possible at this stage as it’ll be too late once it is in the oven. Secondly, using a non-stick oven-safe dish will ensure the easy removal of your rösti once baked, and the round bottom of our paella pan is the perfect size and shape for Anna’s recipe.
