🇨🇭 Switzerland recipe
Roesti
The crispy potato cake that defines the Roestigraben, the cultural divide between German and French-speaking Switzerland. Roesti began as a simple Bernese farmer's breakfast but has become the country's most famous side dish. The secret lies in using pre-cooked potatoes that are coarsely grated and fried in butter until they form a golden, shattering crust encasing a soft, steaming interior. It is the ultimate comfort food.
