I think my German friends Gaby and Jörg (who introduced me this titbit and who are always sending me supply from Switzerland) but also my Swiss friends Antonietta and Moni will be laughing after they will read this recipe of national dish in "New World" re-make.
Rösti or Röschti according to spelling is a Swiss dish consisting mainly of potatoes. It was originally a common breakfast eaten by farmers in the canton of Bern, but today is eaten all over Switzerland and also in many countries in the Western World. Today, rather than considering it a complete breakfast, it is more commonly served as a side dish (e.g.Zervelas or Fleischkäse).
There are different views on what makes a perfect Rösti. The greatest difference of opinion is whether to use raw or boiled potatoes as the main ingredient. Also, the kind of potato which makes the best Rösti dish is widely disputed. Traditionally a special type of potato, the Rösti potato, is used.
