📝 Ingredients
4 medium potatoes (starchy, like Russets)
1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
6–8 slices bacon (cooked & chopped)
2 tbsp butter (melted)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 green onions (optional, finely sliced)

👩🍳 Instructions
Prepare the potatoes
Peel and grate the potatoes.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

Cook the bacon
Fry bacon slices until crispy.
Chop into small pieces and set aside.
Make the filling
Mix chopped bacon, grated cheese, and green onions in a bowl.
Shape the rösti
Heat 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Spread half the grated potato into the pan, pressing it down into a round pancake.
Add the bacon-cheese mixture evenly on top.
Cover with the rest of the grated potato and press down gently.
Cook until golden & crispy
Cook 8–10 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Carefully flip (use a plate if needed) and cook the other side 8–10 minutes.
