About

Method

Preheat a flat cast-iron griddle that will fit over two burners with a light film of oil over medium-high heat until the oil begins to smoke.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix the potatoes, onion, and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Divide the potato mixture in half and place each half over the portion of the griddle that rests over a burner. Flatten them
