For hors d’oeuvre snacks, shape the rösti into small cakes and fry.
Remember do not stir the rösti as this will prevent a crust from forming.
Like to experiment? Add finely chopped lean bacon, sliced onions, or other cheese for other interesting variations.


Pairing:
With wine your best choices are usually whites wines like German Riesling or White Rhones. If you prefer a nice red then try a Dolcetto or your favourite Rhone Red.
