Method
1. Make the Potato Rösti
-
Grate the potatoes using the large side of a grater.
-
Squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean tea towel or muslin.
-
Place in a bowl and mix with grated onion (if using), flour, salt and pepper.
-
Heat a non-stick pan with oil or clarified butter.
-
Add the mixture and press firmly into a thick pancake about 1-1.5 cm thick.
-
Cook over medium heat for 7-8 minutes per side until deep golden and crisp.
-
Slide onto a tray and keep warm in the oven at 120°C.
Tip: You can also form smaller individual rösti instead of one large one.
2. Pan-Roast the Chipolata Sausages
-
Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
-
Add the HECK! chipolatas and cook, turning regularly.
-
Cook for 12–14 minutes until evenly browned and fully cooked.
-
Keep warm.
3. Make the Creamed Mushrooms & Spinach
-
Melt butter in a pan and sauté the onion or shallots until soft.
-
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
-
Add mushrooms, season lightly, and cook until browned and moisture has evaporated.
-
Pour in the cream and Dijon mustard (if using).
-
Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
-
Stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt.
-
Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Scrambled Eggs (Soft & Creamy)
-
Crack eggs into a bowl and whisk with milk or cream, salt and pepper.
-
Melt butter in a pan over low-medium heat.
-
Add eggs and cook gently, stirring slowly with a spatula.
-
Remove from the heat while still slightly glossy - they will finish setting off the heat.
5. Assemble the Dish
-
Place a wedge or individual potato rösti onto each plate.
-
Spoon creamed mushrooms and spinach alongside or over the rösti.
-
Add a generous serving of scrambled eggs.
-
Finish with pan-roasted chipolata sausages.

Garnish with chives, parsley, Parmesan or a drizzle of sriracha.
