  • Add enough vegetable oil to a large skillet to completely coat the bottom of the pan and heat over medium heat. When the oil is hot, scoop a spoonful of the potato mixture into the skillet, flatten slightly, and fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Work in batches as needed. Drain on paper towels.
