- Potatoes — Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes to achieve a crispy texture.
- Gruyère cheese — For the best flavor, use high-quality Gruyère cheese and grate it just before using.
- Bacon — Cook the bacon until crispy before adding it to the Rösti for a delicious smoky flavor.
