Ingredients:  
1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (3 to 4 medium) peeled and shredded
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cornstarch
4 tbl. unsalted butter

Directions:
Directions:
1. Using food processor, shred the potatoes and then place them in a large bowl of cold water. Using hands, swirl to remove excess starch, then drain in strainer.
2. Wipe bowl dry. Place half of potatoes in center of kitchen towel. Gather ends together and twist as tightly as possible to expel maximum moisture. Transfer potatoes to bowl and repeat process with remaining potatoes.
3. Sprinkle salt, cornstarch, and pepper to taste over potatoes. Using hands or fork, toss ingredients together until well blended.
4. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add potato mixture and spread into even layer. Cover and cook 6 minutes. Remove cover and, using spatula, gently press potatoes down to form round cake. Cook, occasionally, pressing on potatoes to shape into uniform round cake, until bottom is deep golden brown, 4 to 6 minutes longer.
5. Shake skillet to loosen roesti and slide onto large plate. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to skillet and swirl to coat pan. Invert roesti onto second plate and slide it, browned side up, back onto skillet. Cook, occasionally pressing down on cake, until bottom is browned, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove pan from heat and allow cake to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Transfer roesti to cutting board, cut into 4 pieces and serve immediately.
