Good to know

Squash brings colour and a gentle sweetness to rösti. With smoked trout and punchy horseradish quark, it makes a proper weekend breakfast.

Swaps

Smoked trout → smoked salmon (same advice in pregnancy). Potato starch → 2 tbsp buckwheat flour (also gluten-free). Low-fat quark → skyr. Horseradish → 1 tsp mustard (milder; contains mustard).

Cooking tips

Squeeze the gratings out firmly, or the rösti will turn soft instead of crisp. Only turn them once the edges come away from the pan.

Storage

Rösti taste best fresh; leftovers keep for 1 day in the fridge and crisp up again in the oven at 200 °C in 8 minutes.

Allergens

Contains fish, milk and egg; gluten-free. Smoked fish isn't recommended in pregnancy because of listeria – use a pan-fried trout fillet instead.
