If your looking for a new way to serve potatoes, This recipe for Rosti Potatoes is it. It tastes great, and is real easy to make.
I grew up with my Mom making these, only she called them Shoestring Potatoes as I do. In today's world they're called Rosti Potatoes. No matter what you call them, they're a great, and easy side dish to make for company.
This recipe will only serve 4 people, so if you need to make them for a larger group, it would be easy to place in a sheet pan (jelly roll pan) and cook them in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Although I used "Red" potatoes here, Baking potatoes would have worked just as well. You just need a potato that will hold it's form after being cooked.
1. Cut the potatoes into 1/8" x 1/8" strips I used a mandolin. Add the sliced onion, and spices, then mix it up with your hand.
Ron's Note:
If you don't have a mandolin, you could easily cut them into 1/8" strips with a knife. I've done it many times when I've forgotten to bring my mandolin with me.
2. Melt the butter in a Teflon pan over low heat, then add the oil. Add the potato mixture to the pan, being sure that it's not more than about 1 1/3" thick. Cover and cook on low for 15 minutes.

3. Flip them over, by placing a plate on top, then flipping. Slide the potatoes back into the pot so the other side can cook. Cover, and cook another 15 minutes.
4. To serve:
You can either slide the whole thing onto a plate, or cut in wedges right in the pan.
