Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 200g Luxembourgian Kachkéis (or substitute with Gruyère cheese)
  • 200g cooked ham, diced
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 4 plums, pitted and chopped
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup water
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes with the Kachkéis, ham, and shallots. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potato mixture, pressing it down evenly to form a large pancake. Cook for about 10-12 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
  4. While the rösti is cooking, make the plum compote by combining the chopped plums, sugar, and water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the plums are soft and the mixture has thickened.
  5. Serve the cheese rösti hot with a generous spoonful of plum compote on top.
