Rosti is a potato-based dish of swiss origin, where it used to be a common breakfast especially for farmers. Here, grated potatoes are mixed with cheese and a sprinkling of green chillies and cooked covered till a good aroma wafts out of the pan. What makes this version very interesting is a coat of aromatic mushroom pepper sauce and a topping of sautéed mixed veggies. Potato rosti with mushroom pepper sauce is indeed a wholesome breakfast but can be had as an accompaniment for lunch or dinner too.
