And the traditional way of making Roesti is the following: Boil potatoes, *let them cool down*, peel them, grate them, pan-fry them in lard until golden. So, Roesti *is* made with warmed-up potatoes. Unless you specifically order a "rohe Rösti" (raw Roesti), which is made from raw grated potatoes - tastes differently, and is a comparably modern invention.
