Berner Rosti (Bernese Fried Potatoes) image

For this dish the potato should be cooked the day before you are going to use them. Very nice side dish but sometimes takes practice to get the crispy on the outside and doneness in the centre. There are many varieties of Rosti depending the region or city you are from. The Bern variation is the best known and has been offered by international hotel and restaurants.
