Ingredients

  • 2 russet potatoes, peeled, shredded
  • 3 Tbsp (45g) clarified unsalted butter
  • Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Place shredded potatoes in a large bowl of cold water. Stir by hand or using a spatula until the water becomes cloudy. Drain the potatoes and repeat this step. 
  2. Place drained potatoes into a towel and squeeze out excess moisture. 
  3. Begin to heat clarified butter over medium heat. Once the butter is hot, add shredded potatoes into the pan in an even layer and season with salt and pepper. 
  4. Cook the potatoes for 5-8 minutes, or until a golden brown crust has formed on the bottom. Flip the potatoes and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes. 
  5. Transfer cooked potatoes to a plate to serve.
