Potato rosti
This is a quick and simple dish which used to be eaten for breakfast by Swiss farmers. For a speedy vegetarian meal, eat with spinach and a fried egg. Try adding to the rosti – grated apple or cheese, cooked onion or bacon, fresh herbs. This can be made with both floury and waxy potatoes: the first gets a more mash-like consistency while and second retains the individual potato strands.
