Cooking Instructions

45 mins
  1. 1

    Peel potatoes and place into bowl of cold water, there is around 11 small potatoes here but just portion out how many you need for the amount of people you are cooking for. Don't worry about exact ingredients, it all comes together in the end

  2. 2

    Grate potatoes into a bowl of cold water, grated potatoes take up a lot of space so use a large bowl

  3. 3

    Rinse and repeat to remove most of the excess starch, refill with cold water and leave whilst getting the rest of the items prepared

  4. 4

    Grate 1 medium onion

  5. 5

    Cut around 10 pieces of grease proof paper in squares

  6. 6

    Preheat pan and a medium low heat and place a nice amount of butter and a little bit of oil to stop the butter from burning

  7. 7

    Drain grated potato and transfer onto a clean tea towel to squeeze the water from the potatoes, try to remove as much water as possible

  8. 8

    Combine dried grated potato, grated onions, 2 eggs, Black pepper, and add a bit of cornflour or breadcrumbs to bind together. Don't add any salt to the potatoes as it will draw more water out and will be dripping everywhere, salt when it first hits the pan

  9. 9

    Once combined, grab a small hand full and push into a rough circle, it will fall apart easy if not handled carefully but that is what you want, you will have lots of nooks and crannies which will turn crispy as you cook

  10. 10

    They are patties are ready to cook, you can freeze them now if you would like to save for later. If not, place them carefully into the frying pan on a low heat, you want to cook these on a low heat just enough so the butter is slightly bubbling. Don't over crowd the pan to make flipping easier

  11. 11

    Only attempt to flip once you have a nice crust on the first side as it will hold it together a bit, flip very carefully. Salt generously

  12. 12

    Take your time to cook these, they take around 10-15 mins. Just don't undercook them
