Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Boil potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes, then drain and cool.

Grate the boiled potatoes and carrots into a bowl.

Mix grated potatoes and carrots with butter, sugar, salt, and egg until smooth.

In a separate bowl, combine rye flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon zest.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the potato mixture, stirring until combined.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 5mm thickness.

Cut out circles of dough and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Spoon the potato-carrot filling onto the center of each dough circle.

Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a small tart shape.

Brush the tops with milk or cream for a golden finish.

Sprinkle poppy seeds on top if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
