Cook the potatoes unpeeled in a pressure cooker until soft.

Grate the carrots using the Rsti grater and add them to the potatoes.

Mix in the cheese, chopped parsley and rosemary. Warm the butter in a frying pan, add the Rsti mixture and fry at a medium temperature while turning occasionally. Add salt, pepper and cayenne pepper.

Form contents of frying pan into cakes, cover and fry at a low temperature for around 15 minutes or until a yellow-gold crust has formed.

Turn the Rsti with a spatula, cover the frying pan and fry around 10 minutes. Now place the cheese slices on the Rsti and allow to melt. Garnish with parsley.
