List of Ingredients

â—¦ 1 large russet potato, peeled and coarsely grated
â—¦ 2 tablespoons grated yellow onion
â—¦ 1 large egg, beaten
â—¦ 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
â—¦ 1 tablespoon cornstarch
â—¦ ¾ teaspoon kosher salt, divided
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
â—¦ ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
â—¦ ¼ cup olive oil
â—¦ Garnish: fresh thyme leaves


Recipe

In a colander, place potato. Rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Drain. Place potato in center of a clean kitchen towel. Fold over long sides of towel; twist ends tightly to squeeze out excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine potato, onion, egg, thyme, cornstarch, ½ teaspoon salt, paprika, and pepper, tossing to combine. Divide potato mixture into 4 portions.

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Carefully place 4 (2 ¾-inch) ring molds in pan.

Divide potato mixture evenly between molds. Press to pack potato mixture in place. Cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 10 minutes. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle evenly with remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Garnish with thyme, if desired. Serve immediately.
