• 1 heaped tablespoon of butter
• 150 grams of cubed bacon
• 500 grams of deep-frozen rösti potatoes
• 100 grams of grated mature cheese

Heat part of the butter in a frying pan. Softly fry the cubed bacon. Add the rösti. Stir until thawed. Season with salt and pepper and turn regularly.

Heat more butter in the pan. Slide the rösti cake into the pan and fry gently again for 6 to 8 minutes.
