Instructions
Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a 10- inch non stick skillet over medium high heat until shimmering.
Add chopped pancetta and cook, stirring until pancetta is crisp, about 5 minutes.
Add chopped shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Transfer shallots and pancetta to a large bowl using a slotted spoon.
Add enough oil to add up to about 4 tablespoons total fate. Set skillet aside.
Using the largest holes on a box grater grate potatoes one at a time.
Place grated potato in the center of a clean tea towel and twist tea towel to drain out liquid over sink.
Transfer to bowl with pancetta and shallots. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add 1 1/2 teaspoons picked thyme leaves and toss to combine.
Heat 1 tablespoon of fat over medium heat, and when shimmering add 1/2 of potato mixture to the skillet. Using a rubber spatula, press into the bottom of the pan and cook until edges begin to look brown, about 6 minutes. Carefully slide roesti onto a plate then place another plate on top. Flip plates over, then slide roesti back into pan and continue to cook until completely crisp, about 7 minutes longer.
Transfer to a large plate and keep warm in a 200°F oven. Repeat with remaining fat and potato.
Sprinkle roesti with thyme and serve with sour cream.
