I visited Switzerland a few years back and while we were in Burn (spelling?) we ate a dish that had what I believe was fried eggs with potatoes and i believe cheese. Anyway it was so delicious. It was very common then, does anyone know what I'm speaking about and if so know the name of the dish or have a recipe for it? That would be so great if someone knows. Thanks

Instead of the poached eggs, use fried eggs.

En guete!


Answer:
I'm terribly sorry to tell you that fried eggs, potatoes and cheese don't make a typical Swiss dish. Röschti which has been mentioned is mainly to be compared to what’s know in the Anglo-Saxon world as hash browns.

If you could describe a tiny bit superior I would be pleased to aid in what you're after.


Answer:
It is Bern, and what you probably mean is “Roesti”, which is basically fried potatos and eggs. The Wikipedia can give you a recipe:

(I'm from Bavaria, Germany, and we know a similar dish here.)


edit:
Al's short lessons in German, part two:
ein Bär -> a bear
zwei Bären -> two bears
ein Bier -> a beer
zwei Bier -> two beers
in Bern -> at Bern
in der Schweiz -> in Switzerland
Bärlin -> the German capital, Berlin. They’ve a bear in their coat of arms. (Lower Saxonia [Niedersachsen] has a horse, and Bavaria has a lion.)


Answer:
I agree with the answers above and you can google it
