This recipe for potato pancakes is inspired by the famous Rösti, which are very popular in Switzerland and Germany.

I found it in the excellent book Recettes Végétariennes du Monde Entier, Garance Leureux, La Plage, 160 pages, which is a real treasure trove of delicious vegetarian dishes.

These patties are easy and fairly quick to prepare, since the potatoes are already grated. These delicious patties will delight children as part of an everyday family meal, but they can also add a touch of indulgence as a side dish for a holiday meal.

Enjoy your meal!
