Method

For the chimichurri, put all the dry ingredients, except the pepper and onion, in a mortar and mix until smooth. Add the oil and vinegar and mix until smooth. Finally, add the onion and pepper.

Boil some of the potatoes with skin in salty water for about 20 minutes. Flatten the boiled potatoes and then fry crispy on the barbecue. When the potatoes are ready, you can finish them with the fresh chimichurri.

Next, slice some more of the potatoes into thin square pieces. Place these against each other in a pan and sprinkle with sea salt, butter and badger garlic oil. Cook for 20 minutes at 175 degrees. Fry the mussels and serve together with the domino potatoes.

Finally, grate the last potatoes and season with salt, pepper, cheese and red onion. Fry in a pan on the barbecue for 15 minutes until tender. Dice the bacon and add it to the rösti. Fry the salmon trout separately and serve alongside the rösti.
