Helpful tips

  • Remove as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes and onion.

  • Add a little water after flipping and cook covered so the potato cooks through.

  • Box grater
  • Mesh bag or clean kitchen towel
  • Non-stick frying pan with lid

Storage

Refrigerate cooled patties in a covered container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a frying pan or air fryer until hot.
