This roesti not only contains potatoes, but also sweet and tart apples that provide a pleasant freshness. We've also used a strong mountain cheese, which adds a wonderfully hearty touch, as well as a creamy herb quark. Accompanied by crudités or a salad, it makes a perfectly balanced everyday dish.
