Steps:
- Beat egg in a large bowl. Stir in ham, 1/2 cup cheese, shallot, rosemary, pepper, and salt. Add frozen potatoes and stir to combine.
- Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- When oil is hot (test with a drop of water; oil should sputter, but should not be smoking), pat potato mixture into an even round in the pan. Cover and cook until browned and crispy on the bottom, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Remove pan from heat.
- Place a rimless baking sheet on top. Wearing oven mitts, grasp the pan and baking sheet together and carefully invert, umolding the rosti onto the baking sheet.
- Wipe out any browned bits from the skillet.
- Return it to the heat and add the remaining oil. Slide rosti back into the pan, browned side up.
- Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, cover and cook the second side until crispy and browned, 4 to 6 minutes.
- Slide onto a platter and let stand 5 minutes.
- Cut into wedges and serve.
CHEESE ROSTI (ROSCHTI)
Rosti is considered by some to be the national dish of Switzerland. This is one of many variations. The potato cake doesn't hold together very well. That's ok. Just so long as the little potato strips maintain their integrity. You don't want to end up with mashed potatoes. The object is to make a large potato cake that is light brown and crisp on the outside with soft distinct potato strips on the inside (think big hash brown).

Steps:
- Place potatoes in large pot with chicken broth and add enough water to cover potatoes completely; bring to a boil and cook until potatoes are tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes, transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled, 8 hours to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Grate potatoes, discarding any lumps or skin that don't pass through the grater.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion and mushrooms in hot oil mixture until soft but not browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir potatoes into skillet. Season potato mixture with salt and black pepper; stir gently and shape into a large potato cake in the skillet.
- Cook the potato cake in the skillet until base of cake is browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Place a plate on top of the skillet, turn the skillet upside-down to remove the cake from the pan, and slide cake, browned-side up, back into skillet. Cook until the other side of the cake is browned, 5 to 10 minutes more. Sprinkle Swiss cheese over the top of the cake.
- Bake in the preheated oven until cheese melts and starts to brown, 10 to 20 minutes. Cool in the skillet for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:
- Cook bacon in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to large bowl (reserve drippings in skillet). Add potatoes to bacon, toss to combine. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Preheat broiler. Melt butter in same skillet with bacon drippings over medium heat. Form potato mixture into four 4-inch-diameter patties. Add potatoes to skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer patties to baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese on top of patties. Broil patties until cheese melts, about 1 minute. Remove from broiler and serve.
Tips:
- For the best results, use a good quality, melting cheese. A blend of Swiss and Gruyère cheeses is a classic choice, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or fontina.
- Make sure the potatoes are grated finely. This will help them cook evenly and create a crispy rosti.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the rosti. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Cook the rosti over medium heat. This will help them cook through without burning.
- Flip the rosti carefully. They can be delicate, so it's important to use a spatula that is large enough to support the entire rosti.
- Serve the rosti hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, or fried eggs.
Conclusion:
Cheese rosti is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give cheese rosti a try!
