Pan-fried Rosti Potato Cake

2 lb potatoes, peeled and grated
2 green onions, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
Dash red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp Herbes de Provence or Italian herbs
Salt to taste and freshly ground pepper

Squeeze the water out of the potatoes - I find wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and wringing them out works best. Toss the potatoes with the remaining ingredients. Heat a tablespoon each of butter and olive oil in a large non-stick skillet and distribute the potatoes evenly in a single layer on the pan. Allow to cook for about 10-15 minutes, undisturbed to brown the first side.

Check cooked side with a spatula. When nicely browned, place a plate over potatoes and flip cake onto plate. Slide it un-cooked side down, back into the pan. Cook another 10-15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through. Slide onto a serving platter and cut into wedges.
