I don't think there is, as no one has posted the recipe. However, we do
have some information about it available to repost.

potatos aren't period.

I know this was said in gest.... but someone on the Meridiean list made me
aware of an exception..... Let me find it.
Mistress Falada had written"
Just an FYI - Dame Fiona has a period (yes, period) recipe for potatoes. And
before anyone jumps me: I know that the white potatoes we have today are not
the black, oily period variety. However, I have yet to see the period type
any place that I could purchase them. Therefore, substitutions should be
acceptable.
Anyway, Dame Fiona's documentation was good enough to be accepted at her
Grand Chef qualification feast. If anyone is interested, I am sure she would
be glad to share the information.
And later, Dame Fiona herself said:
Second, as far as the potatoes are concerned, the recipe was published in a
German cookbook in 1598. To describe the dish I would simply have to say
"hashbrowns". Is this the same recipe you are referring to Tibor? Variations
of the recipe are available in many modern cookbooks, but I got it from an
English translation of the original recipe. It is called "Rosti".
