Salt-and-Vinegar Rösti

This salt and vinegar potato rösti is a spectacular vegan side dish that combines the comforting crunch of a traditional Swiss-style potato cake with the sharp, tangy flavour of a classic British crisp. By parboiling then grating the potatoes, you achieve a wonderfully light interior contrasted with a deeply golden, shattered-glass crust. The addition of softened onions and distilled vinegar provides a savoury acidity that cuts through the richness of the oil, making it an irresistible accompaniment to any meal.

Ideal for hosting, these röstis are naturally gluten-free and plant-based, ensuring everyone at the table can enjoy a slice. They can be prepared in advance and kept warm in the oven, making them a stress-free option for a weekend brunch or a dinner party. Serve them sliced into wedges with a final sprinkle of flaky sea salt for the ultimate savoury treat.

Ingredients for Salt-and-Vinegar Rösti

  • 1.8kg russet potatoes, peeled

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more

  • 2 onions, thinly sliced

  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

  • Nymalen svartpeppar

  • Flaky sea salt

Parboil potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water just until a paring knife slides into the centre with some resistance, 15–20 minutes. Drain; transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and chill uncovered until cold, at least 30 minutes.

Place racks in highest and lowest positions in oven; preheat to 218°C. Line two 8" cake pans with parchment; brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Toss onions, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon kosher salt in a large bowl. Let sit until onions are softened, 5–10 minutes (massage gently to speed up process).

Meanwhile, grate parboiled potatoes on a box grater or in a food processor, or cut using a julienne slicer. Place prepared pans on lower rack and heat 5 minutes.

Add potatoes to onion mixture and toss to combine; season with kosher salt and pepper. Divide potato mixture between hot pans and press down as firmly as possible to compact (a thin flexible spatula works well). Place on lower rack and bake until potatoes are very brown around the edges, 45–60 minutes. Remove rösti from oven; let cool slightly.

Heat grill. Grill rösti on upper rack until tops are golden brown all over. Cut around sides with a small knife or offset spatula to loosen and invert rösti onto a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Carefully remove parchment paper (if potatoes stick, let cool slightly). Brush top of rösti with more oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and grill until second side is deep golden brown.

Potatoes can be parboiled 1 day ahead; once cold, cover. rösti can be made 3 hours ahead; store uncovered at room temperature (or keep warm in a 121°C oven up to 1 hour). Reheat in a 149°C oven for 10 minutes before serving.
