Here’s a delicious recipe for Potato Rösti Stuffed with Bacon & Cheese — crispy on the outside, soft and gooey on the inside. 🥔🥓🧀
📝 Ingredients
4 medium potatoes (starchy, like Russets)
1 cup grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
6–8 slices bacon (cooked & chopped)
2 tbsp butter (melted)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 green onions (optional, finely sliced)
Salt & black pepper (to taste)
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prepare the potatoes
Peel and grate the potatoes.
Place the grated potatoes in a clean towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the bacon
Fry bacon slices until crispy.
Chop into small pieces and set aside.
- Make the filling
Mix chopped bacon, grated cheese, and green onions in a bowl.
- Shape the rösti
Heat 1 tbsp butter + 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Spread half the grated potato into the pan, pressing it down into a round pancake.
Add the bacon-cheese mixture evenly on top.
Cover with the rest of the grated potato and press down gently.

Cook 8–10 minutes on one side until golden brown.
Carefully flip (use a plate if needed) and cook the other side 8–10 minutes.
