Peel the potatoes and grate them coarsely. Heat the oil in a pan and gradually add the amount needed for one rösti to the hot oil. Press firmly onto the bottom of the pan and brown on both sides with the lid on. In the meantime, clean the chicory, i.e. remove the damaged outer leaves, trim off the bottom end of the stalk and halve lengthwise. Now cut out the bitter core in a wedge shape near the stalk. Wash the chicory and let it drain. Peel and core the apples and dice them. Brown the chicory halves in the butter (not too hot) for 6 minutes on each side. Add the apples and season with salt, sugar and pepper, adding a little liquid (3 tbsp water) if necessary. Then let it simmer for a while. When all the rösti are done, serve them individually on an ovenproof plate or similar. Place two chicory halves on each side. Add the apple cubes and sprinkle with cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 230°C for approximately 6-12 minutes. 3-4 minutes is sufficient for an oven with a grill function.
