Cheese Rosti, or Roschti as it is commonly called in Switzerland, is a delicious and hearty breakfast dish. The name itself comes from the German ‘rost' which means ‘crisp'. This dish is similar to a potato pancake or a hash brown patty. It is typically enjoyed alongside a cup of coffee, but can be enjoyed any time of day. The base of the dish is made up of boiled potatoes that are mashed and mixed with sautéed onions and mushrooms. The mixture is then fried until golden brown and crispy. The final touch is a generous amount of grated Swiss cheese which is melted on top. The result is a flavor explosion that is sure to satisfy any cheese-lover's cravings!

1.	Boil the potatoes in chicken broth until they are soft.
2.	Drain the potatoes and mash them.
3.	In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter.
4.	Add the onion and mushrooms and sauté for a few minutes.
5.	Add the mashed potatoes and mix everything together.
6.	Flatten the mixture and cook until browned on the bottom.
7.	Carefully flip the Rosti over and cook until browned on the other side.
8.	Sprinkle grated Swiss cheese on top and serve hot.
