For crispy fried grated potatoes, squeeze out as much moisture as possible after grating, then spread the potatoes in a thin layer in a hot, lightly oiled pan. Leave them undisturbed until the underside browns before turning.
Fried grated potatoes turn soggy when they contain too much water or the pan is overcrowded. Dry the grated potatoes thoroughly and cook in batches so moisture can escape instead of steaming the potatoes.
You can rinse grated potatoes to remove some surface starch, but soaking is not essential for fried grated potatoes. If you rinse or soak them, drain and dry them very thoroughly before they go into the pan.
Starchy potatoes are usually best for fried grated potatoes because they brown well and hold together as they cook. Waxy potatoes can work too, but squeeze them especially well if they seem wet after grating.
To keep fried grated potatoes from falling apart, remove excess moisture and let the first side form a firm golden crust before flipping. A wide spatula helps turn them without breaking; adding egg or flour is optional.
Yes, fried grated potatoes can be made without eggs or flour. The grated potato’s starch helps the shreds cling together; squeeze out the water, press them into the pan, and wait for a browned crust before turning.
Yes, you can cook fried grated potatoes in an air fryer. Dry the shreds well, arrange them without crowding the basket, and turn them during cooking so they brown evenly rather than steaming in a thick pile.
Yes, fried grated potatoes can be frozen once fully cooled. Freeze them in a single layer first, then transfer them to a sealed freezer container; reheat from frozen in an oven or air fryer to help restore crispness.
Reheat fried grated potatoes in a dry skillet, oven, or air fryer rather than a microwave. Spread them in a single layer so their surface can crisp; microwaving warms them but tends to make them soft.
Fried grated potatoes pair well with eggs, breakfast sausages, or a fresh salad. They can also go alongside roasted vegetables or a main dish; serve them soon after cooking, while the edges are still crisp.

Fried grated potatoes are made by shredding potatoes and cooking them in a pan until browned, usually with a little oil. The simple preparation appears in many home kitchens, with the seasoning and shape varying by cook; it is also a familiar breakfast-style potato in several parts of the world.
Serve them hot, when the edges are crisp and the centre is tender. They work alongside eggs at breakfast or as a side with vegetables, meat or a salad. The dish is mainly a source of starchy carbohydrate, with some fibre, while frying contributes much of its fat. For a lighter result, use a non-stick pan and just enough oil to coat it, then let the potatoes drain briefly before serving.
Medium
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Low
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
