Hi, I'm Andie.
I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking.
All tagged leftover potatoes
This version of Switzerland’s beloved potato pancake tops it with fresh tomatoes and raclette cheese.
A layer of potatoes, a layer of creamy onions, and cheese on top, this traditional side dish from canton Zürich is pure comfort food.
I can’t think of anything more comforting than these cheesy mashed potatoes, formed into dumplings, basted in butter and baked in the oven.
This is a quick, one-dish meal featuring seasonal tomatoes and herbs (and lots of sausage).
A seriously simple way to upgrade your Rösti.
This recipe comes from Marianne Kaltenbach’s Aus Schweizer Küche, where the potato is sliced in rounds and an interesting ingredient is added—Milchkaffee. If you don’t have it at hand, you can use just milk, or even a glass of white wine.
The season of melted cheese is upon us.
Just a couple of leftover potatoes give you the perfect excuse to make this delicious potato cake.
It was Swiss farmers who first enjoyed Rösti—for breakfast. Today, this grated, fried potato pancake is enjoyed at any time of day, either as its own meal or as a side dish.
This classic Bündner dish is made up of buttery potato niblets, served with cheese, apple or cranberry sauce, and milky coffee.
There is a persistent rumour that the dish is indeed named for the disease Cholera, after a particularly bad outbreak in the 1830. People in the Wallis stayed home to avoid contamination and were forced to use things they already had in their larder and gardens to feed their families.
More likely, however, is that it's named after the glowing coal in the fireplace where the pan would have sat to bake.
