Directions

1. Thinly slice green onions. In a medium bowl, combine potatoes (if frozen, break up any chunks), green onions, 1 tsp. salt, the granulated garlic, and pepper. Set aside.
2. Heat 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add half of the potato mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Cover with the remaining potato mixture and press down with a spatula to marry the layers together. Cook until potatoes are crisp and deep golden brown on the bottom, 10-12 minutes, reducing the heat if the bottom begins to get too dark.
3. Remove pan from heat and run a spatula under the potatoes to release them from the pan. Place a flat dinner plate or pizza pan over the pan and using oven mitts, carefully invert the pan so the potato cake comes out onto the plate.
