Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional: paprika, garlic powder, parsley

Instructions

1. Prep the potatoes

Peel the potatoes and grate them using the large side of a grater.
Rinse briefly under cold water, then squeeze out all excess moisture with your hands or a clean towel.
(Important for crispiness!)

2. Mix with eggs

In a bowl, combine:

  • grated potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • salt, pepper, and optional spices

Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

3. Cook until crispy

Heat a non-stick pan with the olive oil.
Spoon small portions of the potato-egg mixture into the pan and flatten slightly.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

4. Serve hot

They’re best eaten right from the pan — crunchy edges, soft center, naturally delicious.
