What it is
Bern's golden potato cake: grated potatoes fried in butter into a crisp, lacy-edged disc — the side that became a main and a German-French cultural border (the Röstigraben). Ingredients: waxy potatoes (boiled the day before, classic), butter or lard, salt; additions: bacon, onion, cheese, a fried egg. Recipe: 1) Grate parboiled potatoes coarsely. 2) Melt butter in a heavy pan; add potatoes loosely; season. 3) Fry undisturbed until a golden crust forms; shape the edges. 4) Flip by plate; crisp the second side. Serve: with Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, sausages, or crowned with a fried egg and cheese (Bernese style). Flavor: crisp, buttery, potato-pure. History: rösti was Bernese farmers' breakfast; the 'rösti ditch' jokingly names Switzerland's language divide. See also: Fondue, Raclette.
