Instructions: Place steamer basket in large saucepan with about 2 inches water. Place potatoes in steamer basket, cover and bring to a boil. Steam potatoes, covered, until tender, about 20 minutes. (Potatoes can be just slightly firm at center.) Cool thoroughly. Then put potatoes in plastic bag and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

Using a box grater, grate potatoes, removing any large chunks of skin; place potatoes in large mixing bowl. Add salt and other seasonings, tossing mixture lightly with your hands to mix. Heat about 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in large skillet; cast-iron works best, but if youre adding Parmesan cheese, use a nonstick skillet.

Using about 1/2 cup grated potatoes each, form 3 or 4 patties, and place in skillet, leaving enough room between them to flip easily. Press patties firmly with spatula to shape. Cook over medium heat until nicely browned, flipping them once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining mixture, adding more oil as necessary. Place cooked patties in warm oven while making remaining patties.

This recipe yields 8 patties.

Comments: Although this version is suitable for vegans, you can add a little freshly grated Parmesan cheese to the potatoes and fry them in butter instead of oil. Either way, theyre delicious - great for breakfast or dinner.
