Grated Potato Pancakes
Serves 4

Ingredients:

1 pound boiling potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
2 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation:

Place the potatoes in a colander over a plate for 2 hours. Squeeze dry and pat with paper towels; the potatoes will have darkened. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs; fold in the potatoes, flour, and salt. Heat a 12-inch skillet over a medium-high flame and add the olive oil. After 3 minutes, drop in 4 spoonfuls of the potato mixture about 1 inch apart; half of the mixture will still be in the bowl. Fry until golden on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, about 5 minutes.

Remove with a slotted spatula to a plate lined with paper towels and blot dry. Fry the remaining potato mixture in the same manner in the olive oil left in the skillet. Serve hot.
