Crispy Cheesy Hash Browns

3 small potatoes
1/3 cup flour
1 egg
2 TBS butter, softened
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
pinch of salt
pinch of pepper
vegetable oil for frying

1.  Boil a pot of water over high heat.  Peel and wash the potatoes, then add them to the boiling water.  Boil until they are parboiled (about 6-7 minutes.). They should be hard to touch but easy to grate. Drain the potatoes in a colander and run them under cold water until cool enough to hold.  Grate the potatoes.

2.  Beat the egg in a bowl.  Add the grated potatoes, flour, softened butter, cheese, salt, and pepper and the combine well.  Using your hands, for the mixture into patties.

3.  Put some oil in a frying pan and heat on medium-high.  Add the patties and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.  Once cooked, let cool on a paper towel for a few minutes then serve.
