Treat your ingredients with care...

• Potatoes — Make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the grated potatoes before cooking to achieve a crispy Rösti.
• Cervelat sausages — If grilling, prick the sausages with a fork before cooking to prevent them from bursting.

Tips & Tricks

• For a smokier flavor, use smoked Cervelat sausages.
• Serve with a dollop of mustard or a side of sauerkraut for an extra burst of flavor.
• Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the Rösti to your taste.
• If you prefer a softer texture, cover the skillet while cooking the Rösti.
• Leftover Rösti can be reheated in a skillet for a quick and delicious breakfast.
