The Rösti-Blitz (hash brown maker) makes preparing the Swiss specialty easier because it peels and cuts boiled potatoes into strips in one step. The user simply needs to cut the unpeeled boiled potatoes into halves and then press them through the cutting mesh into the container. The result is perfectly cut hash browns which are ready to be fried in the next step. The potato peel remains on the cutting mesh and can easily be removed by twisting the upper ring of the hash brown maker.
