🕒 Prep Time: 10 mins
🍳 Cook Time: 25 mins
🍽️ Servings: 4
📝 Ingredients:
- 4 medium starchy potatoes (like Russet), peeled
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter or olive oil (plus extra for pan)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: ¼ cup grated Swiss cheese or Gruyère
- Optional: 1 small onion, finely grated
- Optional: Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prep the potatoes: Grate the peeled potatoes using a coarse grater. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Mix & season: In a bowl, combine grated potatoes with salt, pepper, and optional cheese/onion if using.
- Heat the pan: Add butter or oil to a non-stick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
- Form the cake: Press the potato mixture into the pan, flattening it into a round cake about 1–1.5 cm thick.
- Cook low & slow: Cook uncovered for 10–12 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crisp.
- Flip carefully: Use a plate to flip the cake, then slide it back into the pan to cook the other side for another 10–12 minutes.
- Serve hot: Slice like a pie and serve with sour cream, smoked salmon, fried eggs, or as a savory side.
🧂 Tips & Variations:
- Use ghee or clarified butter for a nuttier flavor and crispier finish.
- Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for an aromatic twist.
- Top with a fried egg for a hearty brunch version.
