First shred your potatoes with a grater.
Immediately put them in a bowl of ice water for 30 minutes or so.
Rinse thoroughly.
Wrap them in a towel or clean bandana and squeeeeeeeze as much moisture out as possible.
In a mixing bowl add salt and an egg to the potatoes.
Mix thoroughly.
Shape them by hand and mold them as tightly as possible before frying at about 290F for 7-10 minutes.
You want to fry them for as long as possible to ensure they get crispy and cooked throughout.
Remove and let drain on a paper towel.
