Ingredients
- 4 ounces Idaho or Russet potatoes, scrubbed, rinsed but not peeled
- Pinch kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon bacon fat
Directions
Place a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium low heat for 5 minutes.
While the pan is heating, grate the potato on the largest hole of a box grater. Squeeze the grated potatoes in a tea towel to remove excess moisture.
Add the fat to the pan and scatter evenly with the potatoes. Sprinkle with salt and cook for 5 minutes without disturbing. Decrease the heat to low, flip the potatoes, and cook for another 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

I made these 3 times they tasted great but looked terrible. Gray !! I went out and bought a salad spinner --- doesn't work as well as the towel even more gray !!! But tasted good.
Here's the solution rince in a calendar with copious amounts of water. Then dry spin.... now look and taste great.

Thank you Alton. Simple, easy, quick. Always looking for good recipes i can follow with things i have on hand. The frozen ones are easier but we run out often and i wonder about what "else"they have in them. The ones i made this morning were soggy and gray...i will try the drying and rinsing next timer. But what's a tea towel?

Quick and Easy way to dry potatoes --- Salad spinner!
It got tons of water out super fast. I still dried in a tea towel after, but even without that I think they would have been fine.
