1 kg waxy potatoes
7-10 Tbsp Salt
7-10 Tbsp Pepper
7-10 Tbsp grated nutmeg
2 TABLESPOONS clarified butter
3 Eggs (size S)
1/2 bunch Chives

Directions

1
Wash the potatoes and cook in boiling water for about 15 minutes. Drain, quench, peel and let cool down, preferably overnight.
2
Coarsely grate the potatoes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Heat 1 tbsp. clarified butter in an ovenproof pan (approx. 26 cm Ø). Pour the potato mixture into the pan, form into a Rösti, pressing firmly.
3
Fry over medium heat for about 15 minutes. Turn the Rösti over, adding 1 more tbsp. clarified butter.

Use a spoon to press hollows into the mixture. Beat an egg into each hollow. Cook the Rösti in a pan in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for about 10 minutes.

In the meantime, wash the chives, shake dry and cut into fine rolls. Sprinkle Rösti with chives. Season with salt and pepper.
