- When the oil has been heating about 10 minutes remove from the oven and drop 1 small spoonful of potato mixture into the pan. If it starts sizzling it is hot enough; if it does not, remove the test mixture and place the pan back in the oven to ensure it is hot enough.When the pan is ready, add the entire potato/egg mixture and spread evenly in the pan using an offset spatula or large spoon.Sprinkle with the paprika and salt
- Bake for 40 – 50 minutes until crispy around the edges and top is golden brown and the potatoes in the center are soft.Allow to cool slightly before cutting.
Chef Tips
Note: Traditionally thick salt is used in step 3, but if you do not have coarse salt regular kosher salt will do.
