1. Grate the unpeeled potatoes onto a clean tea towel.
2. Bring up the edges of the towel, then squeeze over the sink to remove any excess water in the potatoes.

4. Season well with salt and pepper and mix together.
5. Divide the mixture into 8 portions and flatten between your hands.
6. Heat a large frying pan with the butter and oil, then add the potatoes to the pan.
