Hash Brown

Peel and grate the potatoes. Put them in a tea towel and squeeze most of the moisture out. Mince the onion, add to the potato and season with salt. In a heavy based frying pan over medium heat, add the oil (don’t let it smoke). Add 2 heaped tablespoon of the mixture and flatten it into a round. You can make as many as you can fit into the pan. When they get golden and crispy on one side, flip them over until the other side is also done. You can also make one big hash brown and cut it into portions.
