1. Roesti and Potato Pancakes with Salmon

I prepare my roesti or potato pancakes based on raw, coarsely grated potatoes. There is also a variant with a part of boiled potatoes and a part of raw potatoes. I prefer to keep it simple and prefer to prepare the potato fritters from raw potatoes.

2. Potato Fritters Step by Step

How you can make the Rösti quickly and easily by yourself I will show you with the following photos. How you can make the Rösti quickly and easily by yourself I will show you with the following photos.

Roughly grate the raw potatoes and heat a pan next to them. The potatoes should always be processed very quickly and peeled potatoes should be placed in cold water so that they do not turn brown.
grated potato seasoning for roesti potato pancakes
Season the grated potatoes vigorously. The grated potatoes are usually seasoned with salt, pepper, chilli and nutmeg. You can also add dried rosemary or thyme.

Fry the potato mixture in a hot pan with plenty of oil until it becomes roesti. The potato mixture is fried in hot oil. Ideal is sunflower oil, clarified butter or coconut oil.

The potato pancake or roesti can be turned after a few minutes. Wait until a crust forms and the roesti can be loosened easily. Potato pancakes are best fried in a coated pan.

The potato fritter is cut out after roasting on a board, so you get beautifully shaped roesti taler on the appetizer. You can also cut your roesti open and serve roesti corners or use other shapes to cut it out.

3. Salmon for Starter, pickled Salmon or smoked Salmon

Smoked salmon is often very salty and it is not a mistake to try out different products. I have tested various smoked salmon products here in Vienna and found that smoked salmon from Hofer is one of the best products. I buy pickled salmon gladly with the fishmonger at the aftermarket, the salmon I will stain myself in other place in the detail introduce.

4. Sauces and cold Dips with Salmon Roesti Starter

Various dips and cold sauces go well with salmon with Rösti. As I wrote a lot about cold sauces recipes in the article Mayonnaise making by myself, I only give a small insight here. The simplest sauce is a sour cream dip, consisting of a cup of sour cream, mixed with a teaspoon lemon juice, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper. The chive sauce consists of a cup of sour cream and a cup of cream fraiche, mixed with a tablespoon of lemon juice, salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and fresh and finely chopped chives rolls. You can prepare the cold sauces based on mayonnaise. The cold sauces then become more powerful in taste. Here I refer again to the recipe for mayonnaise, which are recommended sauces: Mustard sauce as dip, herb sauce, green sauce, remoulade sauce and tatar sauce.
