- Put a palm size amount of potatoes into your hand and roll into a ball. Then flatten the ball into a patty. Carefully place the potato patty into the hot oil.
- Repeat with remaining potatoes.
- Cook pancakes until golden brown, 3-5 minutes on each side.
- Remove pancakes to towels to drain. While pancakes are still hot, sprinkle with seasoned salt. Serve warm.
