Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Non-stick cooking spray or 1 tsp olive oil
- Chopped chives or green onions (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Rinse grated potatoes under cold water, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
- Transfer to a bowl and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray or lightly coat with olive oil.
- Add the potatoes in an even layer. Flatten them with a spatula.
- Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. Avoid flipping too early to ensure crispiness.
- Garnish with chives or green onions if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- Removing moisture from the potatoes is key to maximum crispiness.
- You can make these in an air fryer for an even lighter version.
- Great with eggs or a dollop of Greek yogurt or ketchup.
