Crispy Potato Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a nonstick 10-inch skillet.
2. 2
   Once the butter is melted, sprinkle the grated potatoes into the pan in an even layer and, using a spatula, gently press them into the pan.
3. 3
   Season with about half of the salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook without shaking or stirring the pan, until they're crisp and browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
4. 4
   Slide the potato cake onto a large plate and invert it onto another plate.
5. 5
   Slide the potato cake back into the pan, browned side up, and season the top with the remaining salt and pepper.
6. 6
   Continue to cook until the underside is nicely browned and the potato cake is cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes longer.
7. 7
   Slide the potato cake onto a cutting board.
8. 8
   Cut into wedges, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
