Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes and carrots, then grate them finely on the coarse side of the grater.
2. Finely slice the onion very thinly and mix it with the grated vegetables.
3. Add the egg, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg, then mix well to get an even mixture.
4. Leave to rest for 5 minutes, then gently squeeze the mixture in a clean tea towel to remove a little liquid.
5. Heat the butter and oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
6. Spread the mixture into one large, firmly packed cake and cook for 10 minutes without stirring, until the underside is golden.
7. Flip the cake using a plate or lid, then cook for 10 minutes on the other side.
