A handful at a time , squeeze the potatoes to remove as much moisture as possible and place in a large bowl.

In a frying pan , preferably cast-iron , heat 2 tablespoons oil over med-high heat until it shimmers.

Decrease heat to medium , cover , and cook until the underside is golden brown and crisp , about 6 minutes.

Using a large , wide metal spatula , transfer the potatoes to a plate.

Flip the potatoes back into the pan , browned side up.

Continue cooking , uncovered , until golden brown and crisp on the other side , about 6 minutes more.
