Steps

  1. 1
    Peel and grate the potatoes coarsely, then squeeze them hard in a cloth — the drier the mixture, the better the crust.

  3. 3
    Heat 3 tbsp oil in a heavy pan over medium heat and press the mixture in as an even cake.
  4. 4
    Cook 15 minutes without touching it, until the underside is a deep crust.
  5. 5
    Slide it onto a plate, add the rest of the oil to the pan, and flip the cake back in uncooked side down.
  6. 6
    Cook another 15 minutes. Rest 5 minutes and cut into wedges.
