cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast offers a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

Scallions add a fresh flavor with fewer calories.

Boil half of the potatoes until tender.

Grate the other half of the potatoes raw.

Press the raw grated potatoes to remove excess water.

Combine the raw and boiled shredded potatoes.

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, then mix well.

Heat canola oil in a frying pan.

Add the potato mixture to the hot oil, pressing it down with a spatula to compact it.

Fry for around 15 minutes until golden brown on one side.

Flip the rösti using a plate and fry the other side for another 15 minutes until golden brown.

Serve hot, optionally with smoked salmon and mayonnaise.
