Similar to the English version of a breakfast hash, or bubble and squeak, the Tiroler Gröstl is made with onions, bacon and sliced pieces of meat, all sautéed in a pan. When finished, the Gröstl is served with a fried egg. If you are a vegetarian, you can substitute the bacon and meat for mushroom and peppers, it’s up to you!
See Christine cook a batch with Gerti – a farmer’s wife from Reith im Alpbachtal – here:
Ingredients (for 4 people)
500g of peeled and boiled potatoes – then cooled
300g of cooked beef and bacon
1 onion
Salt
Cumin
Chives
Rendered fat or butter
4 eggs
Butter
Ingredients: What you need for Tiroler Gröstl
How to make:
Dice the onion and fry in a large pan with a knob of butter, or with the fat. Whilst frying, add the bacon and beef to the pan.
Cut the potatoes into slices and add to the ingredients already in the pan. When frying, remember to season with salt and cumin.
In a second pan, fry the eggs with a little butter. By the time they’re finished, the Gröstl should be ready. Arrange the eggs on top and garnish with some finely chopped chives.

A delicious meal. From other recipes, I topped off with a fried egg cooked in the same frying pan
In the write up it doesn't say to boil the potatoes first but I'm sure they need to be boiled first?
I guess I can try it both ways and see!
Trying it for the first time tonight at home here in Australia. This is the standout favourite of mine from years ago when I lived in Kitzbuhel. Love it, so many memories, can't wait to cook it soon 🤤😁😍 Thank you for the recipe and the video 👍🏻
