Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Use starchy potatoes like russets or Yukon Golds for the best texture.
- Boil the potatoes until tender but not mushy: You want them to hold their shape when you grate them.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before grating: This will prevent them from sticking to the grater.
- Grate the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater: This will create a light and fluffy texture.
- Squeeze out as much moisture from the potatoes as possible: This will help the potato cakes hold together better.
- Don't overmix the potato mixture: Overmixing will make the potato cakes tough.
- Use a combination of melted butter and oil to fry the potato cakes: This will help them brown evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the potato cakes over medium heat: This will help them cook through without burning.
- Serve the potato cakes hot with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and cheese.
