This is the classic Swiss mountain dish called rosti. The big potato pancake is cut into wedges and usually served with bratwurst, but I have also prepared this cheese potato dish as a meatless main course. We love the nutty flavor that the Gruyere cheese provides.—Sue A. Jurack

TEST KITCHEN TIP A nonstick skillet is a must so the pancake comes out easily.
