Berner Rösti

• 500 g (18 oz) potatoes
• salt and freshly ground pepper
• 50

Peel and shred the potatoes on the rough side of a grater into a bowl, then salt lightly.

Squeeze the grated potatoes with both hands to get rid of any excess moisture.

Meanwhile, sweat the onions and lardons in half the butter until softened, then turn the mixture into a bowl. Add the ‘dried’ potatoes.

Add to the potato and onion mixture, stir well and season to taste.<
