Ingredients
Scale

- 1 small onion (optional)
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Peel and grate the potatoes (and onion, if using).
- Rinse the grated potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch, then drain and squeeze out moisture with a clean kitchen towel.

Notes
For a cheesy delight, add shredded cheese on top during the last few minutes of cooking. Don’t rush the cooking process to ensure a nice crust forms.
