Ham & Swiss Rosti

From EatingWell: March/April 2007, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)

Rösti is a traditional Swiss potato pancake typically served as a side dish but we added ham and cheese to transform it into an easy weeknight supper. Enjoy with steamed asparagus and chunky applesauce on the side.

READER'S COMMENT:

"It is delicious, but why on earth is it classified as "low calorie"? Cheese melted into potatoes and fried in a pan? That doesn't count as low calorie-food, sorry :) Quite enjoyable nonetheless! "

Flavor was okay, but it was very dry and in spite of using a non-stick pan, stuck to the bottom and fell apart when I tried to flip it.

Pros: good flavor

Flavorful, filling and quick

I made 1/2 of the recipe, but used a full egg and I think the extra was necessary. The skillet was an 8" non-stick skillet, but the rosti stuck and broke apart when I tried to invert it onto the cookie sheet. I wiped out the pan, added the additional oil and did my best to slide the product back in. This serves two very nicely, but if I make it again, I will make 4 patties that can be flipped instead of trying to flip one big piece. My husband really liked the dish and I ate mine with my homemade cinnamon applesauce on top. YUM!

Pros: Easy, delicious and quick to assemble

I would say it is definitely

I would say it is definitely low-calorie. Just because a food has cheese and potatoes does not automatically make it a high-calorie food. It is all about portion sizes. This dish is under 300 calories per serving so I would definitely say it is a low-calorie dinner option!
