After they’ve been peeled, and shredded, use a towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out most of the juices to keep the potato batter from being too watery. Then mix the shredded potatoes with eggs, parmesan and cheddar as our main cheeses. These also help with the slight saltiness, some all purpose flour to help bind everything together, salt and pepper to taste, and spring onions for color and taste. Prepare a pan with a bit of oil that’s hot enough before placing in dollops of the potato batter, do not overcrowd to avoid these from sticking to each other. Flipping as needed till both sides have browned and turned crisp. Take these out and repeat till the batter is done.
