Potato pancakes fried in butter.
Originally a common farmer breakfast in the canton of Bern, «rösti» has become the national Swiss specialty, eaten either as a side-dish or main course. This popular dish includes many variations, different kinds of potatoes, and sometimes starting from either raw or boiled potatoes. In its homeland, «rösti» makes for an interesting subject of conversation! As for myself, I have choosen the school of thought to use raw, yellow potatoes.
