How to Make Rosti Potatoes With Smoked Salmon And Scrambled Eggs

Steam peeled potatoes for 15 minutes until tender. Let cool slightly.
Using a large-hole box grater, shred the potatoes.
Season shredded potatoes generously with salt and pepper. Divide into 6 equal portions and form into patties.
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place 3 potato cakes in the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining butter and potato cakes.
While the rosti cooks, prepare the scrambled eggs: In a heatproof bowl (or the top of a double boiler), whisk together eggs and crème fraîche. Season with salt and pepper.
Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water). Gently stir and fold the eggs with a rubber spatula until they are lightly scrambled and creamy but still slightly moist. (Alternatively, scramble in a pan on low heat)
To assemble, place a warm rosti on each plate.
Arrange 2 slices of smoked salmon on top of each rosti, forming a circular pattern.
Spoon scrambled eggs over the salmon.
Top with a dollop of crème fraîche.
Sprinkle with capers, red onion, chives, and dill.
Serve immediately and enjoy your luxurious Swiss breakfast!
