Method :

• Peel then grate 5 or 6 medium potatoes , so you get 400 g of shredded potato.
• Soak the shredded potato in cold water for 30 minutes until all of the starch is out and the water is cloudy. Run under a cold tap for a few minutes to remove the cloudy water.
• Drain the potatoes of all water so that they are dry.
• In a large bowl, mix the dry potato with the diced onion, Salt, Pepper, Cornflour , plain flour & Egg.
• Mix together well with a fork.
• Heat about 100 ml of oil in a large base frying pan.
• Using a 1/2 cup , measure out enough of the mixture to fill the cup.
• Drop into the hot oil and fry.
• Flatten out to the desired shape with a fish slice, turn and cook on both sides until golden brown and crispy.
