oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier with better fats, while vegetable oil is often more affordable.

Shred the potatoes over a bowl of ice water to wash off excess starch.

Strain the shredded potatoes using cheesecloth to remove moisture.

Microwave the strained potatoes on a paper-lined plate to further dry them out.

Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium to medium-high heat.

Transfer the potato patty into the hot oil carefully.

Cook without moving for 1 to 2 minutes until golden brown.

Flip the patty and cook for about 1 minute longer until ready.

Remove from skillet and place on a paper-lined plate.
