    4. Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. butter in heavy medium skillet over medium heat. Crack each egg and drop into skillet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Partially cover skillet; cook till egg whites are set, about 3 min.
    5. Cut Rosti into 4 wedges. Overlap 2 wedges of Rosti on each of 2 plates; top Rosti wedges on each plate with 1 egg.
    6. This recipe yields 2 servings.
    7. Comments: This classic Swiss potato pancake and the "Green Bean And Red Onion Salad" (see recipe) are great together. Serve dry Champagne throughout the meal.
