In 8-inch (20 cm) nonstick skillet, heat about 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the remaining butter and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the oil over medium-high heat; press half the potato mixture evenly over skillet.
Reduce heat to medium; cook until underside is golden, 5 to 7 minutes; invert onto plate.
Heat about 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter in skillet; slide uncooked side of rösti into skillet; cook until golden, 5 to 7 minutes.
