Potatoes > Uncle Mike's Spuds >
10 medium potatoes, peeled & cleaned
1/2 cube butter (or more to taste)
1/3 C Worcestershire sauce
Salt & black pepper to taste
Peel and rinse the potatoes. Grate potatoes; soak in a bowl of cold water for about ten minutes. Drain well. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. When the butter melts and covers the bottom of the skillet, add the grated potatoes. Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce; mix well. Flatten potatoes with a spatula so that they rest evenly on the bottom of the skillet. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for ten to fifteen minutes; flip potatoes over, flattening again. Cook until a golden color on both sides; remove from skillet to a platter. Serve.

Shenanchie's Note: Uncle Mike's Spuds is a specialty recipe originated by my late uncle, Mike O'Toole. Uncle Mike was quite a character. He had nick names for everyone in the family. Mine was "little one." He called my Mum "tidy" because she was "tight" with her money at poker games.
