Heat the Oil: Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat it over medium heat. The oil needs to be hot enough for frying but not smoking

Form and Fry: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture for each pancake, flattening them slightly with a spatula. Fry in batches, cooking each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy
