Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Prep the Potatoes

Peel and shred the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place them in a large bowl and rinse under cold water to remove excess starch. Drain well and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.

2

Prepare the Scallions

Wash the scallions thoroughly and chop them into small pieces, both the white and green parts.

Cooking

3

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded potatoes, shredded white cheddar cheese, chopped scallions, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

4

Cook the Potatoes

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the potato mixture, spreading it evenly across the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the bottom is golden brown.

5

Flip and Finish Cooking

Using a large spatula, carefully flip the potato mixture. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes on the other side, until it is golden brown and cooked through.

Serving

6

Serve Hot

Once cooked, remove from heat and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional chopped scallions if desired.
