Roesti, also known as 'röschti', is a classic Swiss dish made from grated potatoes that are pan-fried until crispy and golden brown. It's a simple and comforting side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses. While it's traditionally served for breakfast with eggs, it can also be enjoyed for lunch or dinner alongside sausages, roast beef, or chicken. One of the great things about roesti is its versatility - you can customize it with different toppings and seasonings to suit your tastes. Try adding grated cheese, chopped herbs, or diced onions for extra flavor.

2.	Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the grated potatoes.
3.	Sprinkle salt over the potatoes and toss well to coat with melted butter.

5.	Add milk and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve hot.
