THE grating of 1 kg of potatoes and 4 onions is not something that can be classified as easy or quick but that’s where a food processor with a grater comes in.
In many of the recipes I read through, the authors state that you shouldn’t rinse the grated potato to get rid of the starch and in other recipes they state you should rinse the potato. I honestly don’t know which one is better, but I was taught to rinse, so I rinse.
There is also a debate going on about which flour is the right one to add to the rinsed potatoes. I believe potato flour is the best but there are lots of people who use corn flour instead. I actually prefer using regular flour instead of corn flour as it can go quite gooey if you don’t fry the potatoes straight away, the mixture almost always goes stodgy and sticky.
These are perfect as an accompaniment to almost anything but I love them best when they are served with sour cream and smoked salmon.
I found this recipe somewhere in my travels and I enjoy it
