1. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and cook the pancetta or lardons until crisp, remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. In the same pan cook the onions until soft and beginning to brown at the edges, add more olive oil if needed. Add to the bacon.
2. Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water, bring to the boil and cook for 15 minutes, they shouldn't be completely cooked. Drain, allow to cool slightly and then peel using a sharp knife. Coarsely grate into the onions and pancetta. Add the chopped parsley, grated Gruyère and season well. Mix it all together using your hands and then shape into 10-12 patties and flatten slightly.
3. Heat a little olive oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry 4-5 rösti at a time until golden brown on both sides. Keep warm in a low oven while you fry some eggs and tomatoes to serve alongside.

  As with any Rosti (or fried cooked potato dish) it is better to cook the potatoes the day before, cool and refrigerate. Take out and bring up to room temperature before proceeding with step 2 ...Coarsely grate... Otherwise, if you are impatient, with the potatoes still warm, you will end up with a kind of mash. Rosti should be firm not mushy.
