How to Make Rosti With Gruyere Cheese

  1. Cook diced bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 8-10 minutes. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside, reserving bacon grease in the skillet.
  2. Add shredded potatoes to the skillet with the bacon grease. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until they are slightly softened but still hold their shape, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Preheat your broiler to high.
  6. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
  7. Divide the potato mixture into four equal portions. Shape each portion into a 4-inch patty using a spatula or your hands.
  8. Add the potato patties to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Transfer the cooked rosti to a baking sheet.
  10. Sprinkle each patty generously with grated Gruyère cheese.
  11. Broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Garnish with crispy bacon bits (reserved from step 1) and serve immediately.
