What does ROSTI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A Swiss dish of grated or shredded potatoes fried together, usually in a flat cake, until crisp and golden on the outside.
Rosti began as a hearty breakfast eaten by farmers in the Swiss canton of Bern before spreading across the country as an everyday side dish. Cooks usually parboil or grate raw potatoes, then press them into a pan and fry the mass slowly so a crust forms while the inside stays soft. Restaurants elsewhere in Europe now serve rosti topped with cheese, bacon or a fried egg as a meal in its own right.
