Rösti is the official dish of Switzerland. Traditionally, it's a giant latke fried in a pan. This time, chef Nitzan Yarden Susid prepares wonderful rösti latkes with a mix of vegetables, heavy cream, and basil.
Important tip: A good latke requires squeezing out all excess liquid from the vegetables. This step ensures perfectly fried latkes that won’t fall apart.
