  5. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
  6. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of the potato mixture into the hot skillet, flattening them slightly into pancake shapes.
  8. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  9. Serve immediately, optionally topped with a poached egg and a sprinkle of fresh chives.
