Stage 1 - ⌛ 20 min.
Peel and wash 800 g potatoes.

Grate the potatoes fairly coarsely, by hand or machine, then place in a large bowl of cold water. The water will turn cloudy as the potatoes release their starch.
Stir the whole lot well and change the water (or leave the tap running) until all the starch has been removed.
We remove the starch to prevent the potatoes sticking during cooking.

Remarks
You can serve this American style, with fried eggs and bacon for example, or in a more classic French style with a good green salad and vinaigrette dressing. Why not try both together?
The typical cheese to use is Cheddar, but any fairly hard cheese you like will do.

How to cook potato grenaille
The French call very small potatoes "grenaille". This is a typical way of cooking them: the tiny potatoes are pan-fried in their skins and make an excellent accompanient for meat. Grenaille can be made with any kind of potato; it is a question of size, rather than variety, though I think that firm-textured potatoes, such as rattes or charlottes, work best. I am using rattes in the photos. The cooking is a combined method: boiling first, then frying. This is quicker than using a single method. September 16th 2015487 K4.5 45 min.
