rosti

Grated potato cake

Rösti is a Swiss potato dish—shredded potatoes formed into a flat cake and fried until golden and crispy.

The potatoes may be raw or parboiled, and variations include cheese, bacon, or onions.

Rösti often appears as a side dish or breakfast item: We had rösti with eggs and smoked salmon.
