Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium russet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 small onion, finely grated (optional)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 to 3 tablespoons neutral oil for frying
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Rinse grated potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a bowl, mix potatoes with onion, cornstarch, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Form the potato mixture into patties and cook until golden and crisp on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels, season with a pinch of salt, and garnish with parsley.
Notes
- Dry potatoes well to ensure a crackly crust.
- For extra crisp, press the mixture firmly into the pan and avoid overcrowding.
- Use a nonstick skillet or well-seasoned cast iron for best results.
