Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Serving Tip:
Serve alongside a simple salad or, for the adventurers, with crispy bacon crumbles for added flavor.
Wine Advice:
This rösti is a culinary chameleon and requires a wine that's just as upbeat. Think of a Sauvignon Blanc: fresh and fruity enough to complement the savory potatoes, but with a sharp, spicy finish that doesn't shy away from the rosemary. Or if you prefer to see things in pink, a dry Rosé, for instance, from the Provence. It has the guts to stand up to the combination of sweet apple and savory potato without overpowering it. In short, grab a bottle that is as cheerful as this dish, and toast to Swiss perfection!
