Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Peel then use a box grater to coarsely grate the potatoes. Then, add them to a clean dishcloth and squeeze dry. Transfer potatoes to a clean, large bowl.

Preheat a 10-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat for a minute.

In the meantime, add salt, paprika, garlic powder and thyme to potatoes and toss well.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Let melt, and then add the potatoes. Use a spatula to press the potatoes down. Cook until golden brown on one side, about 6 minutes.

Place a baking sheet over the skillet and in one motion, carefully invert so that the potatoes fall away from the pan and onto the baking sheet.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive to the pan. Let melt, then slide potatoes back into the pan so that the uncooked side is facing down. Use a spatula to press down and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Slide onto a cutting board, cut into wedges and serve with a sprinkle of chives.
