- 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 tbsp butter or oil for frying
Instructions
- Peel and grate the Russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
- Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and twist to squeeze out excess moisture.

- Heat butter or oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Spoon half of the potato mixture into the skillet, pressing down to form an even layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown; flip carefully and cook the other side.
- Repeat with remaining mixture. Serve hot, optionally topped with poached eggs or smoked salmon.
