Tips
Rösti is best served warm, on ceramic plates. It pairs perfectly with a fried egg and fresh chives. You can garnish it with an extra sprig of chives or sprinkle it with grated cheese.
Leftover rösti can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, it's best to use a skillet over medium heat, which will help restore their crispiness.

Używam blenderu zamiast rozdrabniania ręcznego - szybciej i gładziej.
