  • Season the mixture with dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted and shimmering, add half of the potato mixture to the skillet, spreading it evenly into a large pancake shape. Gently press down to compact the mixture.
  • Add another tablespoon of butter to the top of the rösti, allowing it to melt and seep into the potatoes. This adds flavor and helps create a crispy crust. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
  • Carefully flip the rösti using a wide spatula. Add the remaining butter to the pan and cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and crispy. Pressing down gently with the spatula helps ensure even cooking and a nice crust.

  • Sprinkle half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the cooked rösti. Fold the rösti in half, pressing gently to melt the cheese. Cut into wedges and serve immediately. Repeat the process with the remaining potato mixture.
  • Enjoy your crispy, cheesy, and flavorful Potato Rösti!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in chicken thighs instead of boneless, skinless breasts.
  • Adjust the spice level to your preference by adding more or less chili powder or using a milder or hotter variety.
  • If you don't have fresh cilantro on hand, you can substitute with parsley or omit it altogether.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover chicken chili in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
