Roesti – Breakfast Swiss Style
We met two Swiss guys in Bogota, Columbia and they gave us this delicious recipe. They own a beautiful hostel and bakery that makes to-die-for pastries in the trendy neighborhood of La Candelaria. Give this amazingly simple, delicious, and easy hostel recipe a try. Roesti can be made a variety of ways, and its flexibility works great for hostel cooking. We’ve included the bare-bones basic recipe (well almost, we added eggs), so you can add all the fixins you want!
