Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionPlace potatoes in a large saucepan, add cold water to cover, and season generously with salt.
Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until the tip of a paring knife slides easily about 1/2" into potatoes, 8-10 minutes.
Drain potatoes and let cool.
Chill until firm, about 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Peel potatoes.
Using the large holes of a box grater, grate potatoes.
Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a 12" ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat.

Season with salt and pepper; press gently to compact.

Slide rösti onto a plate.
Carefully invert skillet over plate and flip to return rösti to pan, browned side up.
Dot 1 tablespoon butter around edge, allowing it to melt around and under rösti.
Season with salt and pepper and cook until second side is golden brown and center is tender, 10-15 minutes longer.
Top rösti with cheese and bake until cheese melts, 5-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat.
Crack eggs into skillet and cook until whites are just set, about 4 minutes.
