This delicious Muffin Pan Potato Rosti recipe is surprisingly easy, resulting in super crispy potato bites! They are perfect to serve at a dinner party and make an impressive appetizer for New Year’s Eve or any other festive occasion.
Shred a potato on a box grater, squeeze out all the moisture, add grated onion, sea salt, and black pepper, and fry in butter in a small pan for 5 minutes. Then, spoon the mixture into a buttered muffin tin and bake in the oven until golden and crisp.
You can top the crispy potato rosti with anything you like – try sour cream, smoked salmon roses, and chopped chives, as I have done, or make a classic version with sour cream and caviar.
If you’re making these ahead, brush them with melted butter, and reheat at 180° C / 355°F until hot. Enjoy!

Instructions
Potato rosti
- Turn the oven on to 180° C / 355°F.
- Grate the potato on the grater (use the larger holes).

- Finely grate half an onion.
- Mix the grated potatoes, onion, sea salt, and pepper.
- Heat a small frying pan (medium-high heat).
- Add 25 grams of butter.
- Once the butter is bubbly, top with the shredded potato mixture and fry until it becomes dry and wants to stick to the pan (about 5 minutes).
- Place the muffin pan in the oven briefly.
- Take out the pan and top each tin hole with a small piece of butter.
- Use a teaspoon to ensure the melted butter covers the entire bottom of the muffin tin hole.
- Top with a spoonful of the potato mixture and flatten with a spoon.
- Sprinkle sea salt on each rosti.
- Bake in the oven for 20-22 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Allow to cool slightly in the pan.
- Lift the rosti carefully with a fork and place it on a piece of kitchen towel to soak any excess butter.
To serve
- Top with sour cream, smoked salmon strips swirled into roses and chives.
- Squeeze lemon juice on top.
