Two crisp, golden-brown pommes darphin potato cakes

A grated-potato cake fried in plenty of butter — crisp and golden outside, tender within. Goes with everything roasted or seared.

  • Potatoes (starchy, like russets), peeled
  • Butter (plenty — don't skimp)
  • Salt and black pepper

    Grate the raw potatoes coarsely. Squeeze the liquid out hard with your hands or in a clean towel.

  2. 02

    Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 03

    Generous amount of butter in a pan on medium heat.

  4. 04

    Press the potatoes into a cake. Cook about 5 min per side until deep golden brown.
