Crispy Oven-Baked Potato Rösti with Black Garlic
These crispy Potato Rösti are an easy oven-baked side made with just three main ingredients: Agria potatoes, Neudorf Black Garlic Olive Oil and Neudorf Black Garlic Sea Salt.
Grated potato is squeezed well to remove excess moisture, seasoned with black garlic olive oil and sea salt, then shaped and baked until crisp and golden. The black garlic adds subtle savoury depth and umami while letting the potato remain the star.
There's no frying and no complicated technique — the secret to crispy potato rösti is simply getting as much liquid as possible out of the grated potato before baking.
Serve them with breakfast or brunch, alongside steak or chicken, or use them as a crisp base for toppings.

FAQs
What are the best potatoes for rösti?
This recipe uses Agria potatoes. Their floury texture works particularly well for creating a crisp exterior when grated, squeezed thoroughly and baked.
Why do you squeeze the grated potato for rösti?
Removing excess liquid helps the potato brown and crisp rather than steam as it cooks. For this recipe, squeezing the grated potato thoroughly in a clean tea towel is one of the most important steps.
Can you cook potato rösti in the oven instead of frying them?
Yes. These potato rösti are shaped and baked at 180°C for 35–40 minutes, rather than fried. Baking makes it easy to cook several at once and requires very little hands-on cooking.
What does black garlic add to potato rösti?
Black garlic adds subtle savoury depth and umami to the mild potato. Black Garlic Olive Oil distributes the flavour through the rösti and helps them crisp, while Black Garlic Sea Salt seasons the potato throughout.
