Rosti

Created by: Howcan Team

Rosti is a traditional Swiss dish made from grated potatoes, typically pan-fried until crispy. Originating from the Swiss canton of Bern, it was originally a breakfast dish for farmers. Over time, it gained popularity throughout Switzerland and beyond. The simplicity of the ingredients and the delicious, crispy texture make it a beloved comfort food. Chefs in Switzerland and around the world have put their own spin on the classic rosti, adding ingredients like cheese, onions, or bacon. Today, the best rosti can still be found in Switzerland, particularly in the Bern region. The key to a perfect rosti lies in using high-quality, starchy potatoes and achieving the ideal balance of crispy exterior and fluffy interior. While the traditional method involves pan-frying, some chefs also bake or grill rosti for a unique twist.
