Ingredients

Method

  1. Grate the potato into a dish, and squeeze out the excess moisture, discarding the liquid.
  2. Split the mixture into two even piles.
  3. Pour the oil into a frying pan and heat moderately.
  4. Place the two piles separately onto the pan, pushing down on top of them with a spatula in order to ensure that the piles stay intact.
  5. Fry until the underside is golden brown, then carefully flip and cook the other side.
  6. Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.
