Steps:
- Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Dry-fry the bacon in a pan for 5 mins until crisp, then chop into small pieces. Boil the whole potatoes for 5 mins, drain, then place in a bowl of chilled water.
- When cool enough to handle, pat the potatoes dry and roughly grate into a large bowl. Toss with the oil as you go, to stop them from sticking. Roughly grate the onion and squeeze out any excess juice, then stir into the potatoes along with the bacon.
- Place a baking sheet in the oven for 5 mins to warm through. Liberally grease a 23cm loose-bottomed cake tin with butter. Scatter the potato over the tin, trying not to pack it down, then dot all over the top with butter. Place on the hot baking sheet and bake in the oven for 1 hr 20 mins until the potatoes are cooked through and crisp on top.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes and grate them, using the large holes of a hand grater or a food processor. Put the potatoes in a large bowl, add the salt and pepper, and toss to coat thoroughly. Let the potatoes rest for at least 5 minutes, and then, working with a fistful at a time, squeeze as much liquid as possible out of them and transfer to a second bowl. (The potatoes will start to discolor, but that won't really affect the final results.) Large holes mean faster work, better texture. A very finely grated potato could turn mushy during cooking.
- To make one large rösti-Heat a heavy-based skillet that measures about 8 inches across the base over medium-high heat. Add the oil (it should come to a depth of about 1/8 inch; add more if-necessary.) When the oil begins to ripple and quiver slightly, test it by dropping in a potato shred-it should sizzle enthusiastically. If not, wait a few more seconds. When the temperature is right, take a fistful of potatoes, wring it out once more, and let it fall loosely from your fingers into the center of the pan. (Be careful because the oil will spatter; getting hit by a few tiny droplets is inevitable.) Fill the pan gradually. Adding just a small amount at a time makes it easier to get an even layer.
- Working quickly, repeat until you've got enough potatoes in the pan to cover the bottom. With a fork, gently spread out the shreds of potato to make a layer about 1/2 inch thick, trying to distribute them evenly, avoiding dense or thin patches. If there are straggly potatoes around the edges, tuck them in with the fork also so they don't burn.
- Adjust the heat so that you hear a lively sizzle but the bottom isn't browning too rapidly. Cook until the underside is a deep golden brown and the potatoes on the top are starting to look translucent, 12 to 16 minutes. (Taste a few strands-they should be almost fully cooked and tender.)
- If you're confident enough to just flip the rösti in the pan, go for it-it's quick and efficient. If you're not, carefully slide the rösti out of the pan onto a dinner plate and return the pan to the heat. Put another plate on top of the rösti and, holding tightly, flip the plates over. Slide the inverted rösti back into the pan and continue cooking until the new bottom is browned and the potatoes feel really tender in the middle when poked with a knife (try to snitch a few strands from the center and taste them for doneness), another 6 to 8 minutes. Slide the rösti onto a cutting board if you're serving it immediately, or to a cooling rack to hold it for a few minutes. Blot the top with a paper towel to remove any excess oil. Cut into wedges and serve as soon as possible.
- Follow the directions above, but just drop handfuls of potatoes into the pan to create 4-inch rounds that are about 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula to flip the rounds rather than sliding them onto a plate. Drain these small rösti on paper towels for a few seconds before serving.

CHEESE ROSTI (ROSCHTI)
Rosti is considered by some to be the national dish of Switzerland. This is one of many variations. The potato cake doesn't hold together very well. That's ok. Just so long as the little potato strips maintain their integrity. You don't want to end up with mashed potatoes. The object is to make a large potato cake that is light brown and crisp on the outside with soft distinct potato strips on the inside (think big hash brown).

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain them and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel the potatoes, then refrigerate them until chilled, for at least 1 hour. Lastly, grate them using the large holes on a cheese grater; reserve on the side.
- Heat lard or butter and oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When melted, add potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and mix well, coating the potatoes with fat. Then, gently press the potatoes using a spatula, molding them to fit the skillet. Cook, occasionally shaking, until edges are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
- When one side is done, cover the skillet with a large plate and invert the rösti over onto it, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side of the fritter. Fry until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Lastly, transfer onto a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and cut into wedges to serve.

Steps:
- 1. Peel potatoes and grate into a bowl. Using a hand grater with large holes is the traditional way
- 2. Melt 2-4 Tbsp. butter in an 8-inch non-stick pan. Add the grated potatoes about 1 inch deep and add salt to taste.
- 3. Cook over medium heat for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to coat the potatoes evenly with butter. Pat the potatoes into a cake with a spatula and let cook for 10 minutes, uncovered. Cover and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes.
- 4. When the bottom of the potato cake is golden brown, place a plate, just slightly smaller than the pan, inverted over the potatoes. Then invert the pan, holding onto the plate. Remove the pan and set it back on the stove. Add another tablespoon of butter and let it melt.
- 5. Slide the Rosti back into the pan, golden side up, and cook about 15 minutes longer, pressing down once or twice to make the pancake stick together more. You can cover it to get the potatoes cooked in the middle, but remove the cover at least 5 minutes before the end so that your pancake is crispy on the outside.
- 6. Slide the Rosti onto plate and serve by cutting into wedges. Salt and pepper to taste.
- 7. NOTE: You may also add parsley, onions, nutmeg or ground paprika.
Tips:
- For the best results, use high-quality potatoes. Look for potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes.
- Shred the potatoes by hand or with a food processor fitted with a shredding disc. Shredding the potatoes by hand will give you more control over the size of the shreds.
- Rinse the shredded potatoes in cold water to remove excess starch. This will help the potatoes brown more evenly.
- Press the shredded potatoes dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. This will help prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or nonstick skillet for cooking the rösti. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will give the rösti a nice crispy crust.
- Heat the oil or butter in the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the potatoes. This will help the potatoes brown evenly.
- Cook the rösti for 10-12 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Be patient and don't flip the rösti too often, otherwise it will break apart.
- Serve the rösti immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings include fried eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese, and applesauce.
Conclusion:
Swiss rösti is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking with a variety of toppings. Next time you are looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give Swiss rösti a try. You won't be disappointed!
