Put the grated Potato into a hot frying pan with some Olive Oil and cook until golden brown, turn the Rosti onto the other side and cook until golden brown.... remove from the pan and place on absorbent kitchen paper to soak up any excess Oil then serve the Rosti in the middle of a plate presenting the carved Lamb Cutlets on top of the meat and garnish with your preferred vegetables, pouring the Jus sauce over the meat and finishing the dish with a sprig of fresh Rosemary.
