  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

2 large russet potatoes
1 teaspoon oil
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Wash and peel the potatoes, then grate them on the large holes of a box grater.

    Step 2

    Place the shredded potatoes in the center a thin, clean, dish towel. Gather the towel around the potatoes and squeeze as much water out of them as you can.

    Step 3

    Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

    Step 4

    Add the potatoes and spread out into a thin layer. Sprinkle with salt, and cook for about 4 minutes, until the bottom turns golden brown.

    Step 5

    Flip the potatoes and cook an additional 2-4 minutes on the other side, until golden brown.

Chicken Croquettes
Rather than breaded and fried as you might expect croquettes to be, these are something more akin to a seared chicken salad patty.
Smoky Tofu Shakshuka
This vegan version of the classic North African scramble uses soft silken tofu instead of eggs without any sacrifice of flavor.
Fufu
Fufu is a dish that has been passed down through many generations and is seen as a symbol of Ghanaian identity and heritage. Making fufu traditionally is a very laborious task; this recipe mimics some of that hard work but with a few home-cook hacks that make for a far easier time.
Tater Tots Tossed in Date Butter
Put these out at a gathering, and we guarantee you’ll be hearing rave reviews for a long time.
Wampanoaug Clam Fritters
The clams’ natural briny sweetness serves as a surprising foil for the tender fritter batter—just be sure to pull off the tough outer coating of the siphon.
Charred Vegetable Ragù
This sauce is slightly magical. The texture cloaks pasta much like a traditional meat sauce does, and the flavors are deep and rich, but it’s actually vegan!
Classic Potato Latkes
Crispy. Golden. Fluffy. Bubbe would approve.
Smothered Italian Sausage
This is what I call a fridge-eater recipe. The key here is getting a nice sear on the sausage and cooking the tomato down until it coats the sausage and vegetables well.
