Easy Morning Potato Pancakes

For years, I thought potato pancakes were beyond my ken. I didn't
quite know how to make them, and the few times I attempted them, they
came out soggy. After I learned I had to live gluten-free, I gave up
on potato pancakes. There are other foods in the world. But the Chef
is teaching me, every day, that almost every food is easy to make, as
long as you listen to the flavors and truly pay attention to what you
do.

2 Russet potatoes, peeled and shredded on a wide grater
1 tablespoon garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup green onions, finely sliced
1/8 cup corn starch
kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste (try ½ teaspoon of
each, to start)

Preheat the oven to 425°. [NOTE THIS IS INCORRECT<,THEY ARE MAKE IN A
SKILLET]

Peel the two potatoes, then shred them on a grater. You want these to
be medium-to-large shreds. (Don't use a microplaner, for instance.)
Put all the grated potatoes in a nest of paper towels, then squeeze
as much water out of them as you can. Go back again and wring out
more. When they are as dry as can be, place them in a large bowl.

Turn a burner of the stove to high heat. Place your favorite skillet
on it and bring to heat.

Put all the ingredients in the large bowl. Mix them up with your
hand, squeezing and turning it all, fast, until everything is
combined well.

Form the potato mixture into little cakes, about the circumference of
a good coffee mug, approximately one-inch thick.

When the skillet has come to its full heat, put two tablespoons of
good-quality olive oil in and turn the burner down to medium-high
heat. Add the potato cakes.

After a minute or two — or when the underside of potato cake has
browned and you start to smell the warmth of it — flip the cakes over
and brown the other side for one minute more. Immediately place the
skillet in the oven. Cook the potato pancakes for ten minutes or so,
or until they are browned and smell so delicious that you just can't
wait another moment to eat them.

Eat them.

Serves two.
