TIPS : The rapée stéphanoise is a traditional dish from Saint-Étienne, known for being simple yet very comforting.

One interesting fact: unlike many potato fritters, it combines raw grated potatoes and cooked mashed potatoes. That’s what gives it its unique texture—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Ingredients

1.2 kg potatoes

2 onions

3 eggs

20 g breadcrumbs

250 g Fourme cheese or another cheese of your choice

Instructions

Peel the potatoes and rinse them under cold water.

Take two-thirds of the potatoes (800 g here) and grate them using a food processor with the finest grater. Also grate the onions.

Place this mixture in a large bowl, add 2 teaspoons of coarse salt, and cover with cold water. Let it rest.

Meanwhile, boil the remaining third of the potatoes (400 g), cut into pieces, in a large pot of water. After 10–15 minutes, the potatoes should be tender.

Drain them and mash them with a fork or potato masher.

Then drain the grated potatoes and onions, and place them in a clean kitchen towel to remove as much water as possible. Twist and squeeze the towel היט היט (squeeze thoroughly).

Next, mix the grated potatoes, grated onions, mashed potatoes, eggs, and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Lightly salt.

Heat about 750 ml of oil in a large frying pan. When the oil is hot, form not-too-thick patties and fry them for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Drain them on paper towels and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Top each patty with a slice of Fourme or your preferred cheese, then bake for 5 minutes until the cheese is melted (skip this step if you prefer them plain).
