Berner rösti

(Rösti alla bernese)

Berner rösti is a traditional variety of rösti originating from Bern. This type of rösti differs from the standard rösti due to the addition of diced bacon, and the potatoes are coarsely grated. It's made with a combination of boiled potatoes, diced bacon, butter, and salt.


The potatoes are coarsely grated, seasoned with salt, and mixed with diced bacon. The mixture is fried in butter over medium heat on both sides. In the end, the bottom of the rösti should have a crispy crust. Once done, this rösti is served hot with the crust side up.
