Step 3

Drain the liquid out of the bowl and the white starch will be let on the bottom. Scrape this off then add it to the potatoes and mix it in to bind the potatoes

Step 4

Heat oil on medium high heat . I use a chopstick and put it in the oil and when bubbles appear I know the oil is hot enough to fry . Drop large spoonfuls of mixture into the pan and flatten them out . Cook until golden and crispy then flip and cook another minute . Drain on paper towels then serve with your favorite sauce
