Instructions

Step 1: Peel and grate 1.5 lbs russet potatoes; squeeze excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a clean kitchen towel until only 2 cups remain.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the squeezed potatoes, 2 tbsp finely chopped parsley, 1 tbsp chopped thyme, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper; mix until evenly distributed.
Step 3: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
Step 4: Form the potato mixture into a 1-inch thick ring (4 inches in diameter) and place in the skillet; press gently to compact.
Step 5: Cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy, then transfer to a plate.
Step 6: Drizzle with 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice just before serving.
