Tiroler Gröstl

The Tiroler Gröstl is the epitome of comfort food! It's one of the most popular classic Austrian dishes in Vienna, but it's much more popular in the Austrian Alps. Tiroler Gröstl is another favorite Restessen (a dish made using leftovers from a Sunday roast).

This hearty favorite comes from the skiing and hiking region of Tyrol in Austria, and it's made with pork, onions, and potatoes, with a fried egg on top. It has long been a favorite of Tyrolean farmers, who like to eat it straight from the griddle for lunch or breakfast. Simply replace the bacon with mushrooms, courgette, or sweetcorn to make a vegetarian version.

Sweet potatoes can be substituted with ordinary potatoes if you desire a sweeter flavor. A little freshly chopped chili, on the other hand, will surely spice things up.
