Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 pounds waxy potatoes, such as Yukon gold
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a microwave safe bowl and set aside. Peel and grate the potatoes with the shredding attachment of a food processor, or on the wide holes of a box grater. Transfer potatoes to a bowl, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Drizzle the oil and melted butter over the potatoes and toss to coat evenly. Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and spread to evenly fill the skillet. Cook the potato cake, adding a few nut size bits of the remaining butter around the edges until the underside is crispy brown, about 10 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium-low flip the cake sliding onto a plate and then inverting back into the pan. Cook; adding the last of the butter as before around the edges, until golden brown and potatoes are cooked through, about 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.

If you are cooking this recipe in a nonstick skillet, you might want to cut back on the grease and watch the cake closely. One other tasty modification is to substitute onion poweder (about 1/2 tsp for the nutmeg.
Wringing the water out of the potatoes in a clean dish towel (as shown on HTBW is essential to the success of this recipe.

The cake turned out OK, but I think I may have had a little too much potato. It probably would have been helpful to have an estimate of about how many potatoes to use rather than just the pounds.

Grating was easy to do, but the receipe did not mention to squeeze the potato that is grated to remove the water. I tried cooking potato cake in one pan then flipping into another larger one. Worked okay but losen the cake alittle before flipping some of the crispy part stayed in other pan. Will try this again. It does taste good.
