Par-Cook the Potatoes

Chill the Potatoes
Chill the potatoes in the fridge for 1 to 2 hours or overnight.
Grate the Potatoes
Grate the cooled potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
Remove Moisture
Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated potatoes using a tea towel or cheesecloth.
Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes with oil, cornstarch, fine salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix gently. If using, fold in the grated Parmesan and onion.
Shape the Patties
Shape the mixture into 12 patties, about 1.5 cm thick, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the Patties
Freeze the patties for 30 to 45 minutes to firm up.
Bake the Patties
Preheat the oven to 425°F / 220°C. Bake the patties for 20 minutes, flip, then bake for another 15 to 20 minutes until golden and crisp.
Set the Crust
Let the patties sit for 3 to 5 minutes after baking to set the crust.
Note
These patties freeze well. To freeze before baking, shape and freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. To cook from frozen, bake at 425°F for 25 minutes, flip, then bake another 15 to 20 minutes.
