This is the popular fried potato pancake you will find at Marche which could be easily served at home. We tried a few recipes from the web, with egg, without egg, mashed or coarsely grated and concluded that traditional plain rosti tasted the best.
For those who savour the bite of baked potato, above is the recipe of the traditional swiss rosti for 2.
It is that simple and will definitely satisfy you. This dish can be compliment with wurst sausages and mustard ( or mayonnaise). A few branches of blanched broccoli as a side will be good :).

Enjoy!
