    An even easier version: Grate half your potatoes, mix them in a little vinegar (to prevent browning), squeeze out as must liquid as posible and leave to drain in a sieve or collender for 30mins. Boil the other potatoes til tender, drain really well (I return the pot to the still hot element, shaking ocassionally to really dry them) then mash with salt and pepper. Stir to mixtures together. Fry spoonfulls of the mixture over med-high heat in butter and/or oil for about 5-10mins a side untill crisp. YUM!
