Very delicious recipe. I fried the potatoes in the bacon drippings and it was delicious. Threw a little swiss cheese over the top for some added zest. Delicious! Thanks Rita! ZWT 7.

Another delightful recipe from Rita~! The bacon really makes this simple rosti into something special. I used some additional bacon drippings for the lard. Yum!
