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.

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.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Freshly grated cheese and finely chopped ham will make a big difference.
- Don't overcook the rösti potatoes. They should be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese and ham. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese would be delicious, as would prosciutto or smoked ham.
- Serve the rösti with your favorite dipping sauce. Sour cream, ketchup, or aioli are all good options.
Conclusion:
Ham and cheese rösti is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham and cheese. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
