Roesti Swiss Hashbrowns are a classic Swiss dish that can be enjoyed as a breakfast or side dish. Traditionally, they are made with grated potatoes and cooked in a skillet with butter until crispy and golden brown. The result is a mouthwatering dish that is crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. Roesti can be customized by adding herbs or cheese, and are a great way to use up leftover potatoes. Serve them with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite breakfast toppings.

Instructions

2.	Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
3.	Add the grated potatoes to the skillet and press down lightly, forming it into a large pancake shape.
4.	Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
5.	Flip the roesti with a spatula and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the other side is golden brown and crispy.
6.	Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
