Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then grate them on the large holes of a box grater.

    Step 2

    Place the shredded potatoes in the center a thin, clean, dish towel. Gather the towel around the potatoes and squeeze as much water out of them as you can.

    Step 5

    Flip the potatoes and cook an additional 2-4 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.
