Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 medium russet potatoes, shredded
½ medium onion, finely chopped
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 cup oil for frying, or as needed
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse shredded potatoes until water is clear, then drain and squeeze dry. Place shreds in a bowl, and mix in the onion, flour and egg until evenly distributed.
  • Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When oil is sizzling hot, place potatoes into the pan in a 1/2 inch thick layer. Cover the whole bottom of the pan, or make separate piles like pancakes. Cook until nicely browned on the bottom, then flip over and brown on the other side. It should take at least 5 minutes per side. If you are cooking them in one big piece, it can be cut into quarters for easier flipping.
  • Remove from pan, and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Kosher salt
3 pounds large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and 1 1/2- to 2-inch diced
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Coarse sea salt or fleur de sel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of kosher salt to a large pot of boiling water. Add the potatoes, bring back to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the potatoes, place them back in the pot with the lid on, and shake the pot roughly for about 5 seconds. Carefully spoon the potatoes onto a baking rack set over a sheet pan in one layer. Set the potatoes aside to cool and dry for 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Pour the oil into a large roasting pan, tilt the pan to distribute the oil, and place in the oven for 5 to 7 minutes, until the oil is smoking hot. Transfer the potatoes carefully into the oil, toss them lightly to coat each potato with the hot oil, and spread in one layer. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour, turning the potatoes occasionally with tongs, until very browned and crisp on the outside and tender and creamy inside.
  • Transfer to a serving platter, sprinkle with 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons sea salt and serve hot.

Tips:

  • For crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water for 30 minutes before frying.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to fry the potatoes in a single layer.
  • Heat the oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit before adding the potatoes.
  • Fry the potatoes in batches, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy.
  • Drain the potatoes on paper towels before serving.
  • Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
