Ingredients

• ½ cup grated mixed cheese (processed, cheddar and mozzarella) 
• 3 large potatoes, peeled 
• 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
• ½ teaspoon red chilli flakes
• Salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon crushed black peppercorns
• ⅓ cup refined flour
• 2 teaspoons butter
• Fresh parsley sprig for garnish

Method

1. Grate potatoes on a plate and soak in a bowl of ice cold water for 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes thoroughly, put them on a kitchen towel and dab excess water.
2. Transfer into another bowl, add mixed herbs, red chilli flakes, salt, crushed black peppercorns and refined flour and mix well. Divide the potato mixture into two portions.
3. Heat a non-stick pan and spread one portion of the potato mixture on it.
4. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and spread the remaining potato mixture over the cheese.
5. Add butter and let it cook until crisp and golden in colour. Turn and cook similarly on the other side as well. 
6. Turn it out onto a serving dish, garnish it with parsley sprig and serve hot.
