Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Peel potatoes. Shred using the large holes of a box grater into a clean kitchen towel.

  2. Step 2

    Squeeze shredded potatoes hard over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible.

    Heat olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

  4. Step 4

    Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Stir in potatoes, salt, and pepper.

  5. Step 5

    Press potatoes into a thin, even layer. Cook without stirring until bottom is golden brown, 6-8 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Serve hot.
