Ingredients

Scale

1 tsp salt
½ tsp freshly ground pepper
2 tbsp butter (or oil)
¼ cup chopped onion (optional)

Instructions

Peel and grate the Russet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Rinse the shreds under cold water to remove excess starch, then dry thoroughly with paper towels.
In a bowl, mix the dried potato shreds with salt and pepper. If using onions, add them to the mixture.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted. Pack the potato mixture into an even layer in the skillet.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown on one side, then carefully flip and cook for an additional few minutes until both sides are crispy.
Serve hot with your favorite toppings or sauces.
