RöSTI (SWISS POTATO CAKE WITH ONION)
In Zurich, a German-speaking city, practically every bar and beer hall garnishes its big plates of meat with this kind of hash brown cake; it might be "cheese" or "onion" or "plain" Rösti, but you'll always be happy to see it. Refrigerating the whole baked potatoes overnight makes them much easier to grate. Special equipment: an adjustable blade slicer fitted with julienne blade, a food processor fitted with medium shredding disk, or a box grater. Chill time is included in total time.

Steps:
- Place potatoes in a large saucepan, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook for about 30 minutes or until tender. Drain them and set aside to cool for about 10 minutes. Peel the potatoes, then refrigerate them until chilled, for at least 1 hour. Lastly, grate them using the large holes on a cheese grater; reserve on the side.
- Heat lard or butter and oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. When melted, add potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and mix well, coating the potatoes with fat. Then, gently press the potatoes using a spatula, molding them to fit the skillet. Cook, occasionally shaking, until edges are golden brown and crisp, about 20 minutes.
- When one side is done, cover the skillet with a large plate and invert the rösti over onto it, then slide it back into the skillet to cook the other side of the fritter. Fry until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Lastly, transfer onto a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and cut into wedges to serve.

HAM & SWISS ROSTI
This recipe was from EatingWell recipes. They wrote "Rosti is a traditional Swiss potato pancake typically served as a side dish but we added ham and cheese to transform it into an easy weeknight supper". I made a few changes to the original recipe (like using garlic instead of rosemary). It was very easy to make and delicious. We served this with a nice salad. My whole family liked it!

Steps:
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter. Add ham and onions and saute until onions are tender. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine eggs, swiss cheese, garlic, salt and potatoes. Mix in ham and onions. Pour into large skillet on medium heat. Press mixture down firmly into pan. Cook for 12-15 minutes. Place a large plate over the skillet and turn over onto plate. Slide back into the skillet to cook the potato mixture on the other side. You will need to make sure there is enough oil in the pan to prevent sticking. Continue to cook for about another 10 minutes. Slide back on to the plate and cut into wedges. This comes out crispy and delicious!

Tips:
- Choose the best potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished potatoes that are high in starch content, such as Yukon Gold, Russet, or Bintje. Starchy potatoes will help the rösti hold its shape better during cooking.
- Shred the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and create a crispy texture.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
- Press the potatoes into a compact cake: This will help them stay together during cooking and prevent them from falling apart.
- Cook the rösti over medium heat: This will allow them to cook through without burning.
- Flip the rösti carefully: Use a wide spatula to gently flip the rösti halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- Serve the rösti immediately: Rösti is best enjoyed hot and crispy, so serve it as soon as it's cooked.
Conclusion:
Rösti with Parma ham and Emmenthal is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's a great way to use up leftover potatoes, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. With its crispy exterior, tender interior, and flavorful toppings, this dish is a true culinary delight.
