butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

Nutritional yeast is a dairy-free option with a cheesy flavor.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

3

Heat 50g of fried butter or fried cream in a skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.

Add the grated potatoes to the skillet, spreading them evenly.

5

Season with salt, and press down gently with a spatula.

Cook until the bottom is golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
