This is the classic Swiss mountain dish called rosti. The big potato pancake is cut into wedges and usually served with bratwurst, but I have also prepared this cheese potato dish as a meatless main course. We love the nutty flavor that the Gruyere cheese provides.—Sue A. Jurack

- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 package (30 ounces) frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
