Rösti

Golden, crunchy, and irresistibly simple, Rösti is Switzerland’s beloved potato dish that turns humble spuds into something spectacular.

A touch of butter adds richness, while optional chives or onion bring subtle depth. Served hot and sliced into wedges, Rösti is perfect alongside eggs, smoked salmon, or a fresh salad. Rustic yet refined, it’s comfort food with alpine charm.
