• Potatoes — Make sure to slice the potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure even cooking throughout the dish.
• Swiss cheese — Opt for a high-quality Swiss cheese with a good melting capability for the best results.

Tips & Tricks

• For a twist, add a layer of thinly sliced onions or bacon between the potato and cheese layers.
• Experiment with different types of Swiss cheese, such as Gruyère or Emmental, to vary the flavor profile.
• Serve the Stunggis with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added freshness.

Serving advice

Serve the Stunggis hot, straight from the oven, as the cheese will be gooey and the potatoes tender. Pair it with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, sprinkle some fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, on top of the Stunggis before serving. This adds a pop of color and freshness to the dish.
