I think this has been discussed in the past.

I bought some manufactured rosti a few days ago that should have been 
cooked in the oven. I ended up doing them on a cast iron griddle pan to 
crisp them up.

It crossed my mind, that since it is such a simple thing to make, to ask 
how you do it.

Very simply, as you write: boil potatoes the day before, grate before
dinner onto a hottish pan with little bits of butter, and when golden
flip over onto a hot plate.

Some people add mushrooms, or onion, or sometimes even cheese - it can
be fun, but is cheating a bit. :)

If you are having roast pork with crackling, you can also grate some apple 
into the mix.

Rösti, oven?? Does not compute! 

Got to fry them, sorry it's the only way. 
It's like oven chips, they might be "designed" to be put in the oven but
they don't taste like chips.

How she managed to get "American" potato and apple Rösti out of something
quintessentially Swiss baffles me.

Her earlier stuff is best.  I try not to look at her 'cheats' :)

My Swiss friend Katja grated raw potatoes and raw onion, mixed in a
bowl with a little oil.  Some were plain, some had morsels of ham
added and others gruyere in the mix.

Then hot pan etc etc.

I've done something similar grated potato and onion, made into little
stacks on a baking sheet with a pastry cutter and then done in the
oven.  Takes a LOT longer for them to cook though.

and do not be afraid of frying, including deep frying. Just do not do it
all the time like the plebs.
Its an excellent technique not be abandoned on grounds of snobbery.
