Method
 

  1. Start by peeling and grating the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.

  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom.
  5. Take a handful of the potato mixture and form it into a patty. Carefully place it in the hot skillet.
  6. Fry each side for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
